<\/a><\/p>\nI love summers purple vegetables. We have our fair share here in Germany, but the Italians really have this down. First of all, it starts with their amazing purple asparagus in the spring, and then we\u2019ve got their violet artichokes, gorgeous Chioggia beets with their contrasting purple-y pink and white rings, then all the ranging shades and shapes of eggplant and finally the, mystical to me, vibrant purple cauliflower, which I am yet to find on one of the markets here in Hamburg. Probably nothing to lose sleep over…the market is overflowing with so many fabulous types of ABSOLUTELY everything this time of year.<\/p>\n
Fresh herbs add flavor, texture, and nutritional value to salads<\/strong><\/h2>\nAdding herbs to a salad helps you load up in vital nutrients for a maintaining healthy body. Not only do fresh herbs add flavor and aroma to a salad, but they also add a lot of nutritional value and other benefits that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.<\/p>\n
\n- Fresh parsley is packed with vitamin K (153% of DRV in just 1 tablespoon) and loads of vitamin A, C and iron. It\u2019s incredibly alkalizing and stimulates your internal organs so they keep working effectively.<\/li>\n
- Fresh cilantro also has an amazing nutritional profile. It\u2019s rich in Vitamins K and C, and is a good source of calcium, potassium and iron. Also noteworthy is its antibacterial compound that has been proven to have salmonella fighting properties, which is also twice more effective than antibiotics.<\/li>\n
- Mint has its own special benefits. It has an extraordinary high antioxidant capacity and is an effective natural remedy for a number of ailments, from bad breath, to congestion and nausea, to helping relax sore muscles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
On top of all that, all three have detoxifying benefits and share the ability to stimulate the digestive system so that after enjoying a meal you are left feeling more energized and refreshed!<\/p>\n
For this type of salad, a little fresh dill is also nice touch. Though, careful not to add too much as it can over dominate.<\/p>\n
