Beetroot, Spinach and Broccoli Salad

Apologies for the slightly blurry pic, but this is what we had for Wednesday night's dinner, along with some grilled organic chicken breast.



The recipe is from Stop the Clock: the anti aging cookbook, by Robyn Martin

Beetroot, Spinach and Broccoli Salad
1 head broccoli
2 medium beetroot
2 large handfuls baby spinach
1/2 cup shelled pistachio nuts

*We (three adults) polished it off as a main.

One of my favourite parts of this recipe was the pistachios. I am now eyeing up a couple of pistachio muesli recipes to try.
