Rosemary Beetroot Salad
Do you get a bit bored of salads? Adding herbs such as rosemary to a beetroot salad gives your food much more than just extra flavours; herbs have been used for thousands of years for their potent healing qualities.
The rosemary in this salad has been used medicinally to improve memory; it can also relieve muscle pain and spasm. Rosemary can stimulate hair growth and support the circulatory and nervous systems. It’s got quite a strong flavour so it’s best not to overdo it.
So I’m really looking forward to this colourful rosemary beetroot salad with my grilled chicken for lunch today.
