Delicious Vegetable Salad: Nutrients
In general, vegetable salads are delicious in September. This month is the season for different colored vegetables. And they are very ripe and full of nutritive substances. Making salads is very easy. And you can enjoy their flavor at dinner. However, there are unhealthy salads, too. And their ingredients make them less nutritious. Adding dressing and toppings may exceed your daily calorie needs. Therefore, they contribute to weight gain. In contrast, this recipe is made with fresh vegetables. And you can get healthy, disease-fighting nutrients and a lot of fiber.
Nutritious ingredients
The main ingredient in this salad is sweet potatoes. They are rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and potassium. Moreover, beta-carotene converts into vitamin A in the body. Sweet potatoes contain pectin, a soluble fiber that increases fullness. It also helps reduce blood sugar spikes. And it helps slow the digestion of sugars and starches. Therefore, a high intake of insoluble fibers has many health benefits. For example, it reduces the risk of diabetes and improves gut health. Sweet potatoes are a healthier choice because they support a nutrient-rich diet too.
