Looking for a different type of salad that you can eat warm or cold, try this Red Cabbage Salad with Mustard Seed Yogurt Dressing its crunchy, sweet and tangy and delicious!
Did you know that eating cold starches such as sweet potato can help with constipation Sarah Wilson wrote an article all about it.
Did you know that when you eat certain veggies that they should be slightly cooked and served with a good fat such as olive oil which helps absorb vitamins A, K, D and E. If eating raw just massage the veggie such as the cabbage in this recipe with olive oil.
I have said this plenty of times before but Turmeric is one of my all time favourite spices apart from the amazing colour (and watch out it stains) it has plenty of health benefits especially for any inflammation in the body.
The combination of the yogurt, apple cider vinegar and mustard give this dressing a nice tang and its a good contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes .
The thing I like about this salad is that you can serve it with warm sweet potatoes or eat it the next day when it is cold and it still tastes good. I like the little bursts of coriander in with the cabbage and spinach, the sesame oil has a nice flavour to.
