Salad for dessert? Why not! "This antioxidant-rich beet salad is the perfect side for dinner but can also be served for dessert," says Rania Batayneh, a nutritionist and owner of Essential Nutrition for You in San Francisco, Calif. With ingredients like walnuts, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and beets, this sweet salad delivers a hefty dose of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and iron. Plus, it's easy to make and full of ingredients that promote flawless skin, Batayneh says.
