The Best Seasonal Salads for a Fertility Diet This Summer

There’s nothing better than this time of year for a fertility diet with the best seasonal salads…

People are strolling along the sidewalks, eating outdoors, and preparing for and returning from beach vacations. Ah, sweet summertime!

Is there anything else you love about summer? It is the right time of year to enjoy the bounty of fruits and vegetables. When creating a healthy and balanced plate, it’s a great time to take advantage of all that fresh produce whether you are trying to conceive or simply working to improve your overall wellness.

Here is why it is so beneficial to eat seasonally:

There is nothing better than the freshest meals made with crisp cucumbers, tasty melons, peaches, and cherry tomatoes. A wide variety of tasty fruits and vegetables are available right at our fingertips!

While browsing the produce section of your local supermarket or farmers’ market, pick up green beans, green leafy vegetables, and corn. Besides being delicious and helping you on your wellness journey, these crops are also easy on your wallet. You can enjoy fresh and healthy foods by eating in-season produce!

Despite the challenges, eating seasonally doesn’t have to be difficult. You have to prepare, assemble, and be willing to improvise with what you find. If you’re struggling with infertility and have depleted energy, it may seem tempting to take shortcuts (especially in the kitchen). We understand!

However, what if food plays a crucial role in reaching your goal? Why not build your family on the foundation of a balanced, nutritious plate? When it comes to food, choosing fresh, seasonal choices will not only benefit your health but will also assist in achieving your bigger goals.

Tomato, Cucumber, & Mint Salad with Yogurt Covering

It’s like summer in a bowl when you eat this tomato, cucumber, and mint Salad with Yogurt covering. There is no mayonnaise in this recipe; instead, full-fat yogurt is used as a substitute, which supplies a rich source of calcium and protein to the dish and also in the salad. This is an excellent source of vitamins A and B – plus the freshness you can only get in the summer.

Ingredients:

• Plain full-fat yogurt 2 cups
• Crushed garlic clove 1
• Ground cumin ½ tsp
• Thinly sliced mint leaves 1/8 cup
• Chopped coriander 1/8 cup
• Large cucumber 1
• Diced tomato ½ cup
• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Using a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, garlic, and cumin together.
2. Remove the seeds and peels from your cucumber, and then grate it over a paper towel. Wrap a paper towel around the grated cucumber and gently squeeze to remove the excess moisture.
3. Add chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl along with the grated cucumber, diced tomatoes, mint leaves, and sliced mint leaves. Mix well.
4. You can serve it immediately or store it in the fridge for up to two days.

Grapefruit Avocado Salad

We love Grapefruit Avocado Salad in the summertime. We enjoyed it during the summer. It’s a quick, fresh, and light meal salad containing nutrient-dense foods. If you want a tangier dress with olive oil and vinegar

Ingredients:

• Ripe avocado 1
• Ruby red grapefruit 1
• Baby spinach 1 cup
• Cabbage slices 1 cup
• Pumpkin seeds ¼ cup
• Freshly ground pepper
• Salt

Directions:

1. Remove the outer membrane from the grapefruit by peeling it. Using a knife carefully cut the grapefruit into sections and remove the membrane that surrounds it.
2. Cut avocados into thin slices.
3. Place grapefruit, avocado, and sunflower seeds on a bed of spinach and cabbage.
4. Add freshly ground pepper and salt to taste.
5. And add olive oil and vinegar for a tangier

Fertility nutrition: why is it so important?

It is important to remember that many factors are involved in fertility success, but many seem beyond our control. If you are trying to conceive or build a family, reducing stress by focusing on what you can control (such as your nutrition) will help you feel more confident and empowered.

Everybody knows that fertility starts with your lifestyle, and summer is a great time to get outside and enjoy your wellness. Take a walk along the beach or take a swim in the lake and fuel your adventures with these delicious seasonal salads! The key to wellness, and ultimately fertility, is to try new, healthy foods.
