Steps

  1. Chop 500g of cabbage into bite-sized pieces and shred some.
  2. Cut 2 cucumbers and 1 medium zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Gently rub 1 tsp of salt into the cut cucumbers and zucchini. [Key Tip!] If freezing, drain moisture thoroughly. If not draining, the liquid contains nutrients, so don't discard it.
  4. Divide the base salad into 3 portions.
  5. In a bowl, combine 1 can (120g) of mixed beans, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and mixed herb salt to taste. Mix well.
  6. Bake the mixed beans in a 200°C (392°F) oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Dice 2 medium bell peppers into 5mm cubes.
  8. Combine one portion of the base salad with the diced bell peppers and the baked mixed beans. Season with salt to taste and pepper to taste. [Key Tip!] The potassium in beans helps expel excess water, and colorful vegetables provide vitamins and minerals.
  9. Finely chop 1/2 medium red onion.
  10. In another portion of the base salad, combine the chopped red onion, 1 can (120g) of chickpeas, 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, 1-2 tbsp of white wine vinegar, and dried basil to taste. Mix everything together. [Key Tip!] Vinegar and onion offer a refreshing effect, and the anthocyanins in red onion have antioxidant properties.
  11. In a bowl, combine 100g of yogurt, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1 tsp of salt, pepper to taste, 2 tsp of ketchup, and 1 tsp of paprika powder. Mix well. [Key Tip!] Using Greek yogurt or strained yogurt will result in a thicker, smoother sauce.
  12. Cut cherry tomatoes (as much as you like) and 1 medium avocado into bite-sized pieces.
  13. In the final portion of the base salad, combine the cut cherry tomatoes, cut avocado, and the prepared healthy aurora sauce. Mix everything together. [Key Tip!] Avocado is rich in vitamins E and B2, and potassium, but is high in calories, so limit to about one per day.
