Benefits behind this salad

Cabbage is an incredibly nutrient-dense ingredient — it’s high in fiber, rich in vitamin C, and supports gut health.

Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a powerhouse grain for plant-based eating.

Edamame adds a boost of plant-based protein and fiber to keep you full and satisfied.

Fresh herbs like parsley and dill are great for a boost of flavor, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Pumpkin seeds are a great source of magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats that support hormone balance and sustained energy.
