How are you feeling these days? A little too full after the holidays? Tired of looking at sweets?

I hear you! What a treat to be able to enjoy so many delicious foods during the holiday season, but January first is here, and I’m ready to eat a little lighter.

This chopped vegetable salad is the perfect way to get back on the healthy eating train. Because the vegetables are super finely chopped, it’s easy to eat. And it’s easy to make, too! A food processor or a mini food processor is a quick and easy way to get these vegetables chopped into tiny pieces.

The dressing on this salad is made of simple ingredients. A little olive oil, some vinegar, salt, pepper, mustard, and the key ingredient…fresh garlic.

Fresh garlic has medicinal properties – it’s a powerful anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Eating raw garlic can help you ward off illness, and if you do happen to get a cold, eating raw garlic can help shorten the life of the cold. In some ways, this is a “stay-well” salad.

Broccoli and red peppers contain lots of vitamin C, so this is the perfect immunity boosting salad for the winter months.

This chopped vegetable salad is:

  • easy to make
  • allergy friendly and grain free
  • perfect for making ahead of time and enjoying throughout the week
  • immunity boosting – it’s loaded with vitamin C and fresh garlic
