Here’s a simple vitamin-packed vegetable salad you can make at home—fresh, colorful, and nutrient-rich.
🥗 Vitamin-Packed Vegetable Salad
🥬 Ingredients
- 1 cup lettuce or spinach (Spinach works great)
- 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup tomatoes (cherry or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup red cabbage (optional but very nutritious)
- 1/4 avocado (optional, for healthy fats)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt & black pepper to taste
🥣 Optional add-ins (for more nutrition)
- Boiled eggs
- Chickpeas or beans
- Seeds (sunflower or pumpkin)
- A little feta cheese
👩🍳 Instructions
- Wash and chop all vegetables.
- Add everything to a large bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper.
- Toss well and serve fresh.
💪 Why it’s healthy
- Leafy greens like spinach provide iron, folate, and vitamin K
- Carrots add vitamin A
- Tomatoes give vitamin C and antioxidants
- Olive oil helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins
🧾 Tip
Eat it fresh—vitamins degrade if the salad sits too long after cutting.
If you want, I can also make:
- A high-protein version for weight loss
- A heart-healthy salad for blood pressure
- Or a Pakistani-style spicy salad version
