Superfood Salad Booster

Jump To RecipePin Recipe

When it comes to boosting the flavor of any salad you need to add some fat. Not only does dietary fat help your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients found in foods like tomatoes and carrots, it is also one of the most important conveyors of flavor that exist.

In other words, if you eat a fat-free salad it probably won’t taste very good and you probably won’t be too excited about eating it every day either! However, pouring excessive amounts of processed salad dressings or low-quality, pro-inflammatory and highly refined oils like the corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil and “pure” vegetable oil used to make the vast majority of commercial salad dressings, on top of your salad all in the name of taste enhancement isn’t exactly the best way to go about boosting health.

Clean Cuisine’s  Superfood Salad Boosters offer a tasty solution as a gourmet salad dressing alternative to empty calorie and highly refined bottled salad dressings and oily condiments. Now you can have your salad and eat it too…without the guilt.

Whole Fats are the Healthiest Fats

The healthiest fats are always in their “whole” and unprocessed form such as raw nuts, raw seeds, olives and avocados. This means if you had to choose between eating an olive or olive oil, the healthiest choice would be the raw naked olive. The “whole” olive will have more nutrients than the oil, especially because most oils are not processed properly (this is particularly true of the omega-6 rich oils such as soybean oil and canola oil that are ubiquitous in bottled salad dressings.)

Clean Cuisine Salad Boosters contain healthy “whole” fats from raw nuts and seeds. And, because the raw nuts and seeds are ground into small crumbs (as shown in the photo above), they can be sprinkled over your salad so that you get a bit in every salad bite.

If you simply add a few whole walnuts or almonds to your salad you might get the health benefits but you won’t get the same taste satisfaction you would get if the nuts were ground into crumbs. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the Salad Booster and just a drizzle of high quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil on top of your salad and you’ll have an amazingly healthy and super tasty salad in seconds!

Superfood Salad Boosters are Not Just for Salads…

The Salad Booster is also the perfect condiment for giving a tasty boost to whole grains, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables and so much more. With help from a Salad Booster you can enjoy truly healthy gourmet meals in minutes.
