Skin Firming Vitality Salad

Skin Firming Vitality Salad

A restorative salad rich in minerals to alkalise and detoxify the body. This is one of my favourite vegan-friendly salads of the moment and I'm enjoying it for lunch most days. Rich in essential nutrients that helps the skin look hydrated and more vibrant. I'm using the home made hummus recipe from my book Purely Delicious as the protein rich base then topping with greens, roasted sweet potato and avocado. This salad is high in antioxidants to protect my cells from damage and high in vitamin C and protein to aid collagen production. It's also full of healthy monounsaturated fats to support nourished glowing skin.
