Health Benefits:

This vibrant salad is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins that promote heart health, support digestion, and provide sustained energy levels. The combination of farro, Medjool dates, and apples offers slow-digesting carbohydrates that stabilize blood sugar—essential for thyroid function. Grilled salmon, if added, is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and selenium, both crucial for supporting the thyroid gland. Additionally, the mixed greens and almonds provide essential minerals like magnesium and vitamin E, which contribute to balanced hormone production and overall metabolic health.
