Dr. Junger's Superfood Rainbow Salad Recipe

Dr. Junger's Superfood Rainbow Salad Recipe

This salad is perfect for summer! It’s a rainbow of colors and so fresh. If you are curious, here’s why we suggest eating the rainbow of vegetables. Try this salad on its own, or pair with your favorite protein.

One thing that’s come out in recent months is a new appreciation for food. How it’s grown, the people who grow it, and how it’s transported to us … we are thinking about it more than ever. Many people are joining local CSAs or Community Supported Agriculture. This allows us to get our produce almost directly from the farm that grew it. We suggest getting a CSA subscription or shopping from your local farmer’s market first, as it helps our wonderful farmers.

Eat the rainbow

And no, we don’t mean skittles. Different colors of fruits and vegetables contain different phytonutrients. By eating a high variation of vegetables, you will get the maximum pay off in immune system benefits. Dr. Junger uses a mixture of cooked and fresh veggies in this salad, for texture and nutrition.

Avocado is always a star in salad, and this one is no different. Avocados are the good kind of fat that we need to keep our bodies running. You might be curious why this recipe contains nightshade, like potato, pepper, and tomato. The answer is, we aren’t cleansing all the time. If you have already done the 21-Day Program and proper reintroduction and found that they aren’t an issue for you, go for it!

If you’d like to watch Dr. Junger make this salad, we’ve linked the video here. Be sure to stay tuned to the end for a discount code that can be used on our fermented adaptogens that is good thru 7/31/20.
