Nutra Organics' Rainbow Salad

Fresh salad bowl goodness from Nutra Organics! Plants get their colour from phytonutrients, which means that eating a range of colours gives you a variety of different nutrients. It's also great for your gut with the addition of bone broth to the rice, and you can switch this out for vege broth if you're on a plant-based diet. You can also easily switch veges in or out of this recipe depending on what you like and what's in season.
