Beetroot, Pomegranate & Pistachio Power Salad

Why it’s good

This colourful salad is a fresh alternative to traditional lunchtime salads. Beetroot is naturally rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, improving circulation and supporting healthy blood pressure. Rocket is another excellent source of dietary nitrates, while pomegranate provides antioxidant polyphenols that help protect blood vessels from oxidative stress.
