Rainbow Superfood Salad With Basil Dressing

I’m thrilled to share this colorful and mood-boosting salad with you today. I’m Chantelle, the creator of the paleo food blog Naked Cuisine. For me, food should be made with real, unprocessed ingredients – naked, stripped of all artificial additives and modifications.

Here in Canada, it’s freezing cold right now (yes, I’m quite envious of all the Aussies at the moment), which makes vibrant salads like this one a necessity. Salads packed with superfoods like pomegranate, avocado, hemp seeds, and sauerkraut are great in any season. This salad is easily adaptable to what’s in season, and the dressing strikes the perfect balance of zing and creaminess that will keep you coming back for more. If you’re a fan of delicious dressings like I am, my lemony tahini dressing is another must-try.

I love adding sauerkraut to my salads for extra probiotics and a delightful crunch. I’ve even managed to convert sauerkraut skeptics (they don’t know what they’re missing). If you’re curious about the benefits of sauerkraut and other fermented foods, check out my article on 10 reasons to eat sauerkraut and some tasty recipes. Incorporating fermented foods into every meal has truly transformed my health. Not only are they tasty, but they also improve digestion, mood, and reduce inflammation.

Enjoy!
