Salads are the prettiest presentation of a meal. They are so colorful, delightful, and yet highly nutritious and are suitable for people of all age groups.
I always prefer consuming salad rather than binge eating high-calorie snacks or junk food. They are tasty, easy to make, and require minimum possible and accessible ingredients easily available in our kitchens.
Salads deliver the highest amount of fiber that aids in digestion, hence they are very helpful for people trying to lose or maintain weight. Also, they are a very rich source of antioxidants and essential vitamins.
Apart from being so delicious, it is also packed with ample health benefits:
- Aids digestion and bowel movements.
- Prevents constipation.
- Protects your heart.
- Builds stronger bones.
- Improves muscle performance.
- Boosts immunity.

According to me, the best time to consume a salad is before the main course or as a meal itself, but otherwise, you can consume it at any time of the day that suits you.
PRO TIP: Although this tango mango salad is high in Vitamin C, but people out there who are looking out for Vitamin C supplementation in their diets, I would recommend them to consider OZiva Bettr. C, which is highly effective and 100% plant based product that supplements Vitamin C in your diet.
