This salad has a bit of everything – the wholegrain pasta serves as a slow-release source of energy plus it has healthy fats, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals – not to mention a super tasty dressing! Quick and easy, and it can even be made in advance.

This recipe is full of goodness
- Wholegrain carbohydrates which provide a sustainable source of energy
- Leafy greens are bitter in taste
- Avocado is rich in healthy fats
- Leaves and seeds are a rich source of Calcium and Magnesium
- Tofu is a rich source of phytonutrients
Bitter tasting foods help support your digestive system so this is something to include with, or at the start of each meal. Healthy fats are good for the cardiovascular system, and a good source of plant-based calcium and magnesium is crucial for bone health, especially important for older ladies! Plant based phytonutrients such as those found in tofu help to support our hormones too.
