Immune Boosting Salad

Salad doesn't always have to be just plain lettuce with dressing. Keep salads exciting by mixing it up a bit. This salad uses kale and spinach, which are both high in iron, Vitamin K, and antioxidants. This salad uses avocado as the dressing, which is high in fiber, healthy fats, and Vitamin K. Using bok choy in this dish also adds Vitamins A and C. This is a great meal to have when you're starting to feel a little sick to give your body some extra strength.

          

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and roast your brussels sprouts and cherry tomatoes for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, wash your baby kale and spinach and massage your avocado into the leaves. Next, sautee some green beans and thinly slice your red onion, cucumber, and bok choy. Once your veggies are roasted, combine all ingredients and season with fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt, and crushed red pepper. Serve and enjoy!
