Why The Abstract Cucumber Tomato Salad Is a Nutritional Powerhouse
Let’s break down the wellness benefits of each superstar ingredient in this clean and crunchy dish:
🥒 Cucumbers: Hydration
Composed of over 95% water, cucumbers help hydrate your body, flush toxins, and keep your skin glowing.
Packed with vitamin K, they support strong bones and cardiovascular health.
The natural plant sterols and fiber in cucumbers support healthy digestion and regularity.
🍅 Tomatoes: Antioxidant-Rich
Loaded with lycopene, a powerful antioxidant known to support heart health and fight free radicals.
High in vitamin C, potassium, and folate—nutrients that play a critical role in blood pressure regulation and immune support.
Tomatoes also offer natural anti-inflammatory properties, which support long-term health.
🌿 Fresh Herbs: Nature’s Pharmacy
Herbs like basil, parsley, or dill are rich in chlorophyll, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals.
These green wonders help detoxify the blood, promote digestive health, and add bold, healing flavor without excess sodium or fat.
Plus, fresh herbs elevate any dish from basic to gourmet in seconds.
🫒 Extra Virgin Olive Oil: For The Heart
A staple in Mediterranean-style eating, EVOO is packed with monounsaturated fats that support healthy cholesterol levels.
Rich in antioxidants like oleocanthal, it’s been shown to fight inflammation much like ibuprofen—naturally.
It also aids the body in absorbing fat-soluble nutrients from veggies, making every bite more beneficial.
The Abstract Spice Touch: Flavor with a Wellness Focus
Our signature Abstract Spice Lemon Salt & Pepper and Abstract Rose Sea Salt blends elevate this fresh salad into something spectacular. These all-natural seasoning blends are:
Heart-healthy
