The Eyesight Salad

This vibrant Eyesight Salad is packed with eye-friendly nutrients that support vision health while delighting the taste buds. The leafy greens, bright carrots, and red bell pepper bring a rainbow of colors and textures, complemented by creamy avocado and juicy orange segments. The tangy olive oil and lemon dressing add a fresh burst of flavor, making this salad both delicious and nutrient-dense.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 100 grams chopped spinach
  • 100 grams chopped kale
  • 50 grams grated carrots, grated
  • 50 grams diced red bell pepper
  • 50 grams lightly steamed broccoli florets
  • 30 grams pumpkin seeds
  • 80 grams diced avocado
  • 1 segmented orange
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Procedure:

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, kale, carrots, red bell pepper, broccoli, avocado, and orange segments.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top for extra crunch and enjoy immediately.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Designed for eye health, this salad includes key nutrients for maintaining clear vision and protecting against age-related eye conditions. Spinach and kale are loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help filter harmful light and protect the retina.
  • Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, essential for good night vision and preventing dry eyes. Red bell pepper and broccoli bring additional vitamin C, which protects cells in the eyes from oxidative stress. Pumpkin seeds provide zinc, aiding in vitamin A transport and supporting overall eye health.
