Eating the 🌈 is the daily mantra that helps us achieve optimal nutritional balance. Think of this approach as mother nature’s multivitamin- all the colors found in various vegetables, fruits, spices and herbs represent different phytonutrients and phytochemicals that offer a myriad of benefits for the body. Aim to add more color and variety to daily intake as often as possible- the microbiome will flourish with diversity, and the immune system will strengthen as a result. 

Here is a colorful salad that incorporates whole wheat cous cous, dried cranberries and golden raisins, red cabbage, carrots and a turmeric dressing. A mix of sweet, salty, crunch, it’s a delicious side dish that will add more color and nutrient density to a family lunch or dinner. Plus the added turmeric spice lends lots of color and anti inflammatory goodness to the mix! Enjoy…
