Alkaline Salad Recipes: Zucchini Salad
If you want to enjoy an Alkaline Salad, please consider the following: always use fresh vegetables and fruits, use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and instead of vinegar you should always use lemon or lime juice.
Of course you can choose your favorite fresh herbs and spices for seasoning. Enjoy your salads!
Besides being an alkaline food and very low in calories (1 medium-sized zucchini has approx. 25 calories), zucchinis contain Vitamin C and beta-carotene, which are both powerful antioxidants.
1. Wash zucchini and cut off the top and bottom. Then cut in halves lengthwise and then slice crosswise.
2. Wash and dice tomatoes. Wash bell pepper, cut in halves, then in slices. Cut onion in halves, then into rings.
3. Put all veggies in a medium-sized salad bowl.
4. In another small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic (optional), olive oil, fresh herbs as well as some salt and pepper. Pour over salad. Mix carefully.
5. Enjoy this alkaline salad!
