The combination of lettuce and various raw fruits, vegetables and nuts turn this into a salad powerhouse full of vitamins and antioxidants. It makes a very healthy side dish, or top it with a little fish, shrimp or chicken and a slice of crusty bread for lunch or dinner. This is good and good for you.

  • Lettuce leaves
  • 4 tbsp grated Brazil nuts
  • 4 tbsp chopped dates
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 2 raw beetroots, grated
  • About 12 oz grated cabbage
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • Vinaigrette of your choice

Place lettuce leaves on plates. Combine the Brazil nuts and the chopped dates and put them in a pile in the middle of the plate. Add the other vegetables in piles around the nuts and create an appetizing and colorful dish.

Just before serving, pour a bit of vinaigrette over the salad to moisten.
