This Superfood Salad Has 2 Secret Ingredients That Reverse Skin Aging

Pamela Salzman is the cooking teacher celebrities love (Molly Sims says Pamela’s tips have changed her life), and her new book Kitchen Matters captures the same easy, frank approach to healthful eating.  This salad is a perfect example—it comes together in 2 minutes, and is packed with almost every skin-loving superfood on the planet. “Fruits and vegetables, especially dark leafies like spinach, contain powerful antioxidants to combat damage caused by free radicals, the enemy of youthful skin,” explains Pamela. “Ideal choices include spinach and blueberries; this salad has both. Consuming high-quality fats like olive oil, avocado, wild salmon, and Brazil nuts suppresses inflammation and keep cell walls supple. Wild salmon also contains a compound which helps strengthen cell membranes and prevent premature aging, and the selenium in Brazil nuts can boost collagen production and preserve elastin.” Did she mention it’s incredibly fresh and delicious?

There is no universal agreement as to which foods fit the "superfoods" bill. In my opinion, a superfood is a nutritional powerhouse that contains a crazy amount of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. There are a lot of superfoods, and by no means does this mean you should eat as many of them as you want in one sitting or that you should limit your diet to so-called superfoods. It’s important to have variety in what we eat. My solution? I decided to take my favorite "superfoods" and put them all into a salad—for an incredibly delicious result. I think you’ll not only enjoy this salad, but you’ll feel energized and healthier after eating it.
