Yes, many salad dressings are healthy depending on the ingredients used to make the dressing. Some salad dressings are completely unnecessary and a tad too much for a simple salad bowl.

Kiwi Cashew Salad Ingredients

This salad is so good because it only uses the essential ingredients needed to make it the very best salad you’ve ever had. A combination of vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and spices were used to make this kiwi cashew salad pop.

• Italian Style Salad: This salad mix uses three different raw vegetables such as spinach, wild rocket, green lettuce and red lettuce. Some salad recipes use more mixed greens in their salad bowl but this Italian style salad with just 3 mixed greens is a good base.

• Cashews: Cashews are one of the most delicious nuts you can eat. Using cashews in this salad helped to increase it’s healthy fat content to make this a well balanced diet. Cashews are a great source of magnesium and fibre.

Also, cashews are very chewy and it added some crunchiness to this salad bowl.

• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are the best source of plant based omega 3 fatty acid. It was used in this salad recipe to add more high quality protein to the salad, something that’s always missing in most traditional salad recipes.

As far as chia seeds go, they’re one of the best seeds you can eat. “Chia” means strength and it is packed with essential nutrients for reducing acne, scars and keeps your skin healthy.

The chia seeds I used in this salad were organic. It’s the best chia seed I’ve tried because it retains it’s quality and richness. You can get the chia seeds on amazon before it runs out.

• Kiwi: Kiwi’s are a superfood and one of the best sources of vitamin c. I used two kiwis in this salad for it’s sweetness and tangy flavour. As you chew this salad, if you happen to bite into the mixed greens with the kiwi, you’ll experience a really delightful burst of sweetness in your mouth.

• Lemon juice: Lemon juice was used in this salad because of it’s tangy flavour and fresh smell.

• Black pepper: Pepper was used in this salad recipe for it’s taste and texture.

• Himalayan salt: Sea salt was used to sweeten this kiwi cashew salad.

All the ingredients used in the Kiwi Cashew Salad were bought from ALDI, except the chia seeds.
