Ingredients Highlights

Cayenne peppers are a type of chili pepper that have a moderately hot, spicy flavor thanks to a compound called capsaicin. 

Cilantro helps cleanse the body of toxic metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead. It also possesses antibacterial and anticancer properties. 

Cucumbers help keep you hydrated, flush out toxins, and provide many health-boosting vitamins and minerals. Cucumbers also help protect the body against constipation and kidney stones and help control blood pressure.

Limes are best known as a good source of vitamin C but also contain other important vitamins and minerals including magnesium, potassium, folate, and vitamins A, E, and K.  

Mangos calm nerves, support restful sleep, and purge the lymphatic system of toxins.

Pure olive oil is high in nutrients including vitamins D, E, K, and A as well as omega-3 fatty acids. For the highest quality, look for organic extra virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles or tins that have an expiry date. 

Raw honey is a good source of many vitamins and is rich in antioxidants. Its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve overall immune function.  

Shallots have a milder taste and smell than onions and are often eaten raw due to their delicate flavor. Shallots have twice the protein and almost twice the natural sugar and carbs of onion.

Spinach supports healthy bones and eyes and slows age-related decline in brain function. It’s also loaded with vitamin K, which promotes healthy blood and circulation.

Walnuts are neuroprotective and support heart health. They are loaded with antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin.

    • Hi Mary-Anne,

      Yes, it looks like the ingredients for the salad is missing. We apologize about that. Our team has been made aware and will be updating the page. So please be on the look out for that.

      In the meantime, you can find those ingredients listed below:

      ▪ 2 large handfuls Baby spinach (about 2-3 cups)

      ▪ 4 small or 2 large mangos, cut into bite-sized pieces

      ▪ 2/3 cup chopped cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces

      ▪ 1 shallot, thinly sliced and chopped

      ▪ ¾ cup fresh chopped cilantro

      ▪ ¼ cup chopped Walnuts/pecan/seeds/trail mix

      Also, if it looks like the calorie count is twice the amount it should be, that's because this is a 2 serving dish. Of course, if you want to reduce the calorie and fat amounts, you can either reduce the amount of walnuts or olive oil used. Those are the two main ingredients that add fat and calories.

      We hope this helps and you decide to give this wonderful salad a try. It truly is delicious. Have a lovely day.
