Here is a recipe to prepare a rich sweet salad. This is a very versatile and very tasty dish.

We all enjoy salads not only because they are delicious but because they are also nutritious. These offer a good amount of nutrients and are very low in calories. A well-prepared salad doesn’t have to make you hungry ten minutes later. Today we bring you a recipe to prepare a sweet salad.

The important ingredient here, responsible for the sweetness of our salad, is the fruit or fruits that we are going to use.  There are several types of sweet salad and each one responds to the type of fruit or fruits that were added to it. The truth is that fruit adds a more exotic touch to a healthy green salad, for example.

The most common when preparing a sweet salad is to combine juicy fruit with dried fruit. But the truth is that almost any fruit goes well. There are sweet salads of all kinds. Since almost any type of fruit can be combined, there is unlimited room for creativity.

Benefits of Sweet Salad

The benefits of the sweet salad will depend on the type of fruits that are used for it.   At first glance it seems obvious that a good fruit salad is very healthy.

Remember that fruits are sweet because of fructose, which is a monosaccharide that, once consumed, can be converted into sugar that is harmful to health.

So, it is important that our salad has a rich combination of fresh fruit, dried fruit and some other ingredient such as yogurt. Here are the other benefits of eating sweet salad as an alternative to just fruit.

• When the body is lacking in vitamins A and C, the body tends to respond with stress and depression. In this case, it is important to include fruits in our salad, such as orange, kiwi, mango or banana.

• Fruits are a source of fructose, vitamins and minerals that give us a lot of energy. In fact, they contain high levels of vitamin A, C, and E.
• If in one case you feel hungry for something sweet, instead of going to the refreshment shop, a delicious salad can supply your need for something sweet without the significant contribution of sugars, which is detrimental to your health.
• Speaking of vitamins, fruits have an important antioxidant action fighting free radicals, responsible for premature aging.

It is important to note here that a sweet salad does not necessarily have to be a fruit cocktail. There are combinations of lettuce, carrot, and other mixed greens that taste great, for example.

The recipe that we bring you below is simply a breakdown of what you could do if they have all the necessary fruits with you. Remember, the salad does not need to be saturated with fruit. Quantity is not the same as quality.
