Cayman Tropical Salad Recipe

This Cayman Tropical Salad Recipe is one of my very favorite salads.
It is nutrient-dense and contains a variety of ingredients beneficial for the gut microbiome.
Arugula is full of antioxidants and phytonutrients, the Jicama root is known for its high inulin content that feeds good gut bacteria, the peppers are loaded with vit C and other vitamins and minerals, the fruits add sweet and sour taste, enzimes, vitamins and minerals and the hearts of palm bring a balance or a cohesive toutch.
Very mild and healing for me and hopefully for you, too!

Ingredients: 

• Arugula salad
• Jicama root
• Roasted peppers – Sclaffani are good, but you can roast your own at 375 F for 30 min
• Mango or another fruit of choice, like peaches or apricots

• Hearts of palm, canned

Method:
Cut into small squares:

Half jicama, two roasted  peppers – drained, one small mango, one slice of pineapple
