Roasted Beet (Australian Beetroot) Salad

This salad provides a rainbow of micronutrient rich foods.

Beets are red and provide phytonutrients that act as anti oxidants and others that can help improve oxygen utilization in the body making them a good choice for active Rebooters.

Carrots are orange and rich in alpha and beta carotene, shown to help reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Kale, arugula and mixed greens provide important nutrients locked away in the green pigment nutrients.

Red cabbage contains red-purple anti oxidant rich anthocyanins and polyphenols.

Enjoy!
