Alkaline Diet Recipe #88: Roast Garlic and Spinach Salad

Roast Garlic and Spinach SaladIf I would have to name two of my favourite vegetables then spinach and garlic would be on top of that list!

This salad contains both spinach and roast garlic, which are both packed with nutrients and are highly alkalising. Spinach is such a versatile vegetable as it can be fried, quickly boiled or steamed.

When spinach is used fresh, like in this salad, it is extremely rich in antioxidants and a great source of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, iron, folate, zinc just to name a few. As the list could go on you can call spinach a real superfood!

Garlic is also one of the oldest known medicinial plants and is known for a myriad of health benefits.

I love the crunchy texture of the spinach and the sweet taste of the roast garlic in this alkalising salad.
