Rainbow Nectarine, Watercress + Bocconcini Salad With Flaxseed Oil Vinaigrette
I’ve added Melrose Health Flaxseed Oil to my salad dressing to boost the nutritional profile of this show-stopping salad for all my Christmas guests. This oil is cold-pressed from organically grown flaxseeds and has one of the highest concentrations of plant-based essential fatty acid omega-3 ALA.
Basically this powerful oil, along with these colourful fruits and vegetables make the salad packed with anti-inflammatory properties, perfect for a busy holiday period.
