Rainbow Immunity Salad

The term 'eat the rainbow' has never been more important than when coming into the cooler months.

The vibrant colour of produce and wholefoods is an indication of the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients unique to that colour, so including an array of colours from plant sources helps ensure we are getting a well-balanced diet inclusive of every nutrient we need to thrive.

So a bowl of colourful veg atop rice cooked in our Chicken Bone Broth (hello zinc and b vitamins, thanks for all the immune support), is a delicious way to ensure that you're nourishing and supporting your body in the most delicious way possible.

The best part about this recipe is that you needn't follow it to a tee, feel free to substitute veg if you aren't able to find it, as long as your plate is colourful you're nailing it!
