This Spinach and Kale salad only has healthy ingredients. So if you are in for a healthy and tasty salad then try it out!
I was reading on my phone and came across some notes about dried parsley.
The notes came from a very interesting article in pupmed* about parsley. Parsley, especially dried parsley, contains apigenin. Lab testing done in 2013 found that apigenin might be able to kill cancer cells in breast, lung, ovary, pancreas, prostate and colon cancer. Other foods with lots of apigenin are celery, onions, oranges, camomile tea, oregano, thyme, coriander, artichoke and red wine.
Nutritional properties of #parsley, might:
have anti-cancer and antibacterial effects
support bone and heart health
protect eyes
be rich in antioxidants
Raisins are another tasty and healthy ingredient in this salad. I use raisins often if a dish needs some sweetness, instead of adding sugar.
Wondering how to make #raisins?
Here you go:
you have to get ripe, fresh and not mushy grapes
wash them thoroughly
remove the grapes from the stems
put paper towel on a tray with holes, so air can circulate
cover loosely with paper towel
put the tray in a sunny spot for around two weeks
put the grapes in a bowl
drizzle a few drops of vegetable oil and stir slightly so all grapes are covered
store in a glass jar and done are your raisins!
You can take all kind of grapes for different colours!
