Don't let the word "salad" give you pause. This week's creamy tahini carrot salad is a side dish PACKED with health benefits:
Carrots: Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A by your body. This helps with vision, skin, and is great for immunity!
Turmeric and black pepper: Turmeric’s main active ingredient is curcumin which is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. Black pepper helps to activate curcumin by 2000%!
Cucumber: Cucumbers are filled to the brim with vitamin E, so save a few slices to put on your eyes!
Lemon: Lemon not only supports digestion, but is a great source of vitamin C which can keep you healthy and strong!
Garlic: Garlic is excellent for immunity, can reduce blood pressure, and is loaded with antioxidants!
So there you have it, a super-food side guaranteed to please the taste buds and keep you strong, healthy, and happy. Now go outside and play!

What our customers are saying
"The best ship to home meal service out there, hands down. The food is delicious with just enough flavoring that you can jazz the meal up with your own spices if you wish. Nothing is bland or overly spicy. Best of all, they include a shipping label for you to return all the packing materials to them for free for reuse until ready for recycling. So easy and enjoyable.”
