Anti-Inflammatory Salads: Must-Have Ingredients
Inflammation Relief in a Bowl
Preparing a salad is the easiest way to pack lots of anti-inflammatory ingredients into one delicious bowl. But what ingredients are best?
Anti-Inflammatory Salad Staples
Use foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3, fibres, and healthy fats to build your anti-inflammatory salad. Next is what to shop for, plus recipe ideas!
Veggie Combo Base
Start with a mix of leafy greens and cruciferous veggies. Think of raw kale, fresh spinach, shredded cabbage and grated radishes.
Also add a third vegetable choosing from orange/red varieties like carrots, peppers, or tomatoes for extra anti-inflammatory power.

Fruity Twist
Then, supercharge your salad with a handful of antioxidant-rich berries or a cut-up orange.
Other fruits good for inflammation include grapes, cherries and pineapple. All a fun addition to salads!
Healthy Fat Toppings
Use avocado, olives, and almonds as anti-inflammatory toppings rich in healthy unsaturated fats.
Omega-3 Boost
Include a source of omega-3: these inflammation-fighting fats are found in flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
In with Fibres
Round up your salad with black beans or red kidney beans for a good dose of fibres, which reduce inflammation by supporting gut health!
