Beets are a nutrient dense food, particularly rich in folates that protects us from heart disease, birth defects, and certain cancers. Kale is a powerful anti-cancer food rich in organosulfur compounds. Walnuts are very high in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, protect against cardiovascular disease, and improve cognitive function. Serve this nutrient-dense salad with Rosemary-Lemon Roasted Salmon and cooked Millet for a balanced meal.
