Alkaline Diet Recipe #79: Lamb’s Lettuce with Walnuts & Avocado

I have just got back from a holiday to Corsica and discovered a delicious salad there, which contains my favourite type of salad which is lamb’s lettuce, a highly alkalising avocado (see whfoods info on avocado here – fantastico) and a handful of crunchy walnuts.

Lamb’s lettuce is extremely healthy and has many nutrients, including three times as much vitamin C as lettuce, beta-carotene, B6, B9, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. You will already know how nutritious and alkaline avocados are, as they are very rich in potassium, B vitamins, vitamin E and K. Avocados are also known to promote healthy skin and hair. Some people use them for facial masks, however they are most beneficial when eaten.

The walnuts give this light salad a lovely crunch and flavour!

Personally I would recommend to use a good quality walnut oil with this salad, as you will really taste the difference! And remember, all oils should be kept out of the exposure of light, heat and air – so don’t cook with walnut oil, just use it to dress salads, veggies and other lovely alkaline foods!
