According to research, an aspect of Paleo nutrition is to balance our intake of acidic and alkaline foods. I can definitely tell the difference just in how I feel when I’m imbalanced in that area, especially when I’m a little more on the acidic side. My body always appreciates when I’m able to incorporate more alkaline foods into my diet. Hence, the birth of this simple, alkaline salad.
This particular recipe is what I go by to meal prep it as lunch for my work week — double win for this busy working mama! I like to stack it in my jar in the order I want it to land on the bowl/plate, top it with a protein I’ll have packed on the side, followed by a squeeze of fresh lemon and dressing of my choice!
