    Purple Power Antioxidant Salad. Fruit. Veg. Flavor.

    Here’s my recipe for a purple-themed dish: Purple Power Antioxidant Salad. It’s pure purple bliss. This salad has a complex Asian-influenced sweet-bitter-tangy flavor you’ll love! Fruit. Veg. Flavor.

    Power Lunch. Eat this salad as is, or on top of a pile of mixed greens. Add in some protein-rich 2-minute tempeh and lunch is a healthy flavorfest. This salad awakens your senses and perks up your mood. Sweet grapes, figs and plums provide a quick, natural, antioxidant-infused energy boost. Mother Nature’s caffeine and vitamin pill is served.

    Purple Ingredients. Bold Flavors. This salad has sweet black grapes, succulent purple plums, goji berries, caramelized dried figs, crunchy radicchio, red onion rounds, black sesame seeds and a squeeze of Meyer lemon juice. Flavor is ZING! Then to smooth the flavor, I’ve added a tablespoon of veganaise or plain soy yogurt. Click ahead for the recipe and more photos ……
