Salad with cranberries

May has begun, and the weather gods are treating us to lovely, sunny weather. With that springtime excitement in the air, we’re once again eager to whip up sunny salads. So I’d love to give you some extra inspiration with this original recipe, because, you know, a salad is always a good idea 🙂 For example, olives are rich in iron, which is important for energy metabolism. Cherry tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, which is good for the immune system and has antioxidant properties. The same goes for vitamin E, of which sunflower seeds are the best natural source. Vitamin E also helps regulate blood pressure. Pistachios, on the other hand, are high in vitamin K and potassium. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, strong bones, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Potassium is important for, among other things, nerve signal transmission and, together with sodium, helps regulate the body’s fluid balance. So, in short: you should definitely add this salad to your menu 😉
