Why This Salad Works (Science-Backed Benefits)
Beets
Beets are rich in betalains, plant compounds shown to reduce inflammation and support liver detox pathways. They’re also a natural source of nitrates, which can help support healthy blood pressure and circulation.
Pears
This gentle, low-acid fruit adds natural sweetness while offering soluble fiber that supports digestion and keeps blood sugar steady.
Baby Spring Mix
Leafy greens provide folate and vitamin K, essential for heart and bone health. Their high antioxidant content helps the body combat oxidative stress.
Pomegranate Seeds
These ruby gems are loaded with polyphenols that have been studied for their anti-inflammatory and heart-protective effects.
Pecans
A satisfying crunch plus heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber and minerals like magnesium that support metabolism and energy.
Feta Cheese
Just enough creaminess to bring balance, offering protein and a dose of calcium.
Simple EVOO + Lemon Dressing
Extra-virgin olive oil is rich in oleocanthal, a compound shown to support inflammation control. Lemon brightens the salad with vitamin C, which also helps the body absorb the iron in your beets and greens.
