Healthy Nutritious Arugula and Endive Green Salad | Vegan

Always looking to expand my salad repertoire, I love to try new things often. In fact, there are no limits or set recipes when it comes to salads! I made this healthy nutritious arugula and endive green salad recently, and it’s on repeat in my house because it’s quick, filling, and so tasty!

Just throw a bunch of yummy foods together in a bowl, drizzle with your favourite homemade dressing, and voila! It does not need to be fancy or elaborate to be delicious and nutritious!

I change the toppings to fit what I feel like having that day, with so many possibilities: raw pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, black sesame seeds, raw walnuts, etc. All of these add to the taste, but also in nutrition, since each of these nuts and seeds has their own benefits, like magnesium in black sesame seeds, and essential omega 3 and 6 in hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds.

Arugula and endives are also excellent due to their slightly bitter taste, something we don’t get enough of in the Western diet, and is needed to help our digestive juices working.

It’s a great salad in winter, when endives and avocados are in season!

Bon appétit!
