Since your bag of waters and placenta are forming as we speak- well, as you read- support them both by boosting your intake of vitamin C. You might think oranges are the best source of this important nutrient, but did you know that bell peppers contain three times as much? That's why this week's recipe isn't citrus-based, but instead features an array of vitamin-packed veggies!⠀
INGREDIENTS:⠀
1 large red bell pepper⠀
1 large yellow bell pepper⠀
2 cucumbers⠀
1 pint organic cherry tomatoes⠀
1 avocado (optional)⠀
VINAIGRETTE:⠀
1/4 cup olive oil⠀
2 tbls raw apple cider vinegar⠀
1 clove garlic, crushed⠀
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.⠀
Start by washing your veggies well, then chop your peppers and cucumbers into bite-sized squares and slice your cherry tomatoes in half. Toss your veggies into a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Pour the dressing onto your salad and toss. Garnish with fresh avocado. Serves 4-6.⠀
