Nutrition:
This salad bowl is full of nutrients!
Arugula: arugula's bitter taste/smell comes from glucosinolates, which may protect the body against certain cancers. It's also full of antioxidants and helps with the absorption of many minerals.
Red onion: red onions are full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They also fight bacteria and contain quercetin, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that protects against cancer, allergies, and heart disease.
Cucumber: cucumbers are packed with vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health! They're also a great source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B, copper, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and water for hydration!
Tomato: tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and potassium! They contain an antioxidant called lycopene, which is linked to many benefits including a reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
