This category of easy healthy salad recipes will be the most important food you eat to boost your immune system naturally and to prevent and reverse disease.

The best suggestion for keeping this food interesting and appealing is to have a variety of recipes and dressings on hand. So here are some great starting recipes.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Toss with dressing and serve while fresh. Serves two meal-size portions or 4-6 single servings. Recommended dressings are Super Fast Balsamic Vinegarette or Cilantro Dressing.

Garbanzo and Avocado Salad

1 cup garbanzo beans, drained

One of my favorites of my Healthy Salad Recipes. Prepare and combine first four ingredients in a medium bowl; chill if desired. Just before serving, prepare avocado and add to mixture. Toss with Mexican Dressing and spoon mixture onto lettuce leaves or finely shredded cabbage. Serves one as a meal or 2-4 as a side dish.

5 Minute Cabbage and Black Olive Salad
