Rainbow Salad

Have you ever wondered what summer tastes like? Yes? No?

Well I think this salad recipe tastes exactly like summer on a plate. The combination of flavours and textures are just super delicious and go so well together. I love the crisp romaine lettuce and juicy sweet mangoes they go lovely together with the crunchiness of the sweetcorn and smoothness of the avocado. Everything is just right!

Not only does this salad look very beautiful on a plate but nutritional speaking it also packs a punch with one serving of this amazing salat you get 7 difference kinds of vegetables and fruits in one dish. And all those different coloured vegetables/fruits also mean different kinds of antioxidants you get this salad recipe.

So if you are struggling with ideas of how to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet give this recipe a go!
