JessiccaRefreshing Cucumber Mango and Spinach Salad
July 17th 2009 04:09
If you are bored with the mayo and regular coleslaw, this salad can be quite refreshing for you.
Mango lovers (like me) would find it delightful as well, and moreover, this salad boasts beta-carotene from the mango and lutein from the spinach, which are cousins in the carotenoid family and important antioxidants. Aside from cancer prevention and survival, Lutein is recognized for its key role in eye health.
Hope you all enjoy!
