By doing so you’re assuring that you’ll get the full assortment of vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients provided by those foods.   The Rainbow Salad with its red cabbage, green broccoli, orange carrots and purple raisins offer the full spectrum of colors in one dish. The beautiful mixture of colors and textures makes it a feast for the eyes that will draw everyone to this nutritious salad.
