This easy, healthy salad is amazing in so many ways. Almost all of the ingredients (except for the dressing and olives) are totally raw –– leaving their nutrients and enzymes intact. All the ingredients are organic. The seeds in the salad are very high in protein and essential fatty acids. The Chioggia beets are so pretty and are a great ingredient if you want to mildly detoxify your body or just want a jolt of energy. The fresh basil is packed with antioxidants, vitamin A and iron. The kale and swiss chard are loaded with vitamin K, calcium, and more iron. If you're looking for an easy healthy salad recipe––you've come to the right place. We really love this salad because as you chew it you get hit with all the different flavors –– a surprise in every bite.
