Red Cabbage Chicken Salad

Salads are always considered very healthy food as they are a great source of all vitamins and minerals. In addition, vegetable content makes salads a rich source of fiber.

It is advised to eat at least five types of vegetables and fruits in the diet every day. However, many people find it hard to include vegetables in their diet. Some people do not like salad meals. I also had negative thoughts until I started making and doing experiments with salad recipes. I also try to include as many vegetables in my daily intake as I can. I really wanted to include vegetables and fruits in my diet like Red Cabbage and Avocado but wasn't sure of how to add them.

Although salads are extremely helpful in promoting weight loss yet delivering all the necessary elements that your body needs to maintain a healthy body. So I have come up with Red Cabbage Salad with Chicken in it. This recipe can be enjoyed at lunch and in dinner.

Red Cabbage is very good in Vitamin C & K and great antioxidants which is helpful in reducing the risk of many diseases. This red cabbage salad is tasty at the same time because of marinated chicken pieces in it.
