Harvest Power Salad

Full of foods for energy and health

I recently gave a talk about "power foods" and my top 5 power foods were 1. beans/lentils, 2. nuts/seeds, 3. vegetables. 4. lean protein and 5. whole grains. This includes all of those foods into one bowl. Beans and lentils are great for heart health because they are high in soluble fiber. They are also a great source of lean protein. Nuts- pecans in this particular recipe, provide some healthy fat along with vitamin E, b vitamins, magnesium, and more. Leafy greens and broccoli are high in vitamins C, K and A along with fiber. The different components hold well too so you can have everything prepped and then combine the ingredients together for several lunches or dinners. Enjoy!
