• Beetroot
• Garlic
• Onions
• Coriander

They say that foods with the colour red are meant to be good for all things blood related.

A study has shown that beets lower the chance of heart disease and strokes (along with broccoli, and spinach).

Garlic is also supposed to reduce cholesterol, and it is also very tasty – even if it does leave you stinking for hours afterwards. It is also supposed to help act as a natural antibiotic that can leave you significantly less likely to catch a cold.

Onions are also believed to have cancer healing properties. As well as helping with hayfever, cholesterol and heart disease it helps to detoxify the body by carrying out waste products.

The final ingredient in this salad is coriander which some people love and some people absolutely detest. However there are some great health benefits from coriander, such as preventing hay fever, relieving headaches, helping to prevent liver, breast and colon cancer.

All in all this is a very healthy salad to accompany a main meal that will help keep the doctor away as well as fill you up in a tasty manner!
