Kale, Citrus, Feta Salad

If we had to guess, we say that 2021's nutrition trend will be immune-boosting foods. First things first, no single food on it's own will be enough to prevent you from catching and reacting to germs, but in the context of a healthy diet, there are several categories of foods that can support your immune system.

Our recipe for Kale, Citrus, Feta Salad supports you with a dose of vitamin C from both citrus fruit and kale. Vitamin C may not keep you from catching the cold, but there is some evidence that vitamin C may decrease the length of cold symptoms. The recommended daily amount is 75 mg for women and 90 mg per day for men. Double your serving of Kale, Citrus, Feta Salad and you'll meet almost your entire daily needs with 70 mg.
