Crispy apple & celery slices, red + green oak leaf lettuces topped with walnuts and thyme sprigs—a fresh & simple autumnal salad.
I like to serve this with my lemony dijon mustard salad dressing, as it adds a little warmth to aid digestion. It tastes great sprinkled with walnuts, Immune Supportive Seed Snack or toasted nuts, shaved hard cheeses or crumbled soft cheeses.
High fibre foods are an important part of a healthy digestive system. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are high in fibre.
Recipes have ingredients with anti-inflammatory nutrients and avoid common inflammatory foods like sugar, gluten, dairy and processed food. A whole food diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help relieve symptoms of inflammation within the body. Inflammation is at the root of most disease = dis-ease.
Recipes have blood sugar balancing and low glycemic index ingredients. A diet rich in foods that balance blood sugar helps lower risks of type 2 diabetes.
