The more colors you have on your plate, the more nutrients you get 🌱💛❤💚

A salad made of leafy greens, red bell pepper, raddish, carrot and roasted chickpeas.

For dressing, I mixed some dijon mustard with balsamic vinegar and nutritional yeast and poured it over my salad. There is no need to pour oil on it, because oils contain huge amount of calories but no nutrients.

I love it

thank you very much @sebafelician :)

Looks very refreshing! Yummy!!!

Thank you so much 🤗

The nutritional yeast in the dressing is a good idea. I love it in but have only used it in baked recipes

You have no idea how much I love nutritional yeast :D Although it's very dry, sometimes I even eat it plain, just with a spoon :)))

Yep it's such a great substitute for the cheese in mac and cheese that's where is use it a lot.

Looks colorful and healthy :)

thank you very much @hanen :)

because oils contain huge amount of calories but no nutrients.

Huge amounts of calories, true, no nutrients? You are probably talking about highly processed oils, cold-pressed oils have actually more nutrients because they are condensed. For example 100g of olive oil has 14 mg of vitamin E while 100 g of olives have 2.4 mg of vitamin E.
The oils lack the fiber though.

Roasted chickpeas myself in spices a couple of days ago, so good.

Dear @street.yoga, that's right!! Sorry for not being proper in this one :)

No need to bent over backwards, you were right at being easy on the oils and that is all that really matters ;)

That looks and sounds incredible Sweetie 🌸💖🌸

Thank you so much Lena :)))
