Pregnancy Power Salad


Jicama Pomegranate Salad
When I'm pregnant I can't get enough salad, especially in the summer. So I've complied a few of my favorite pregnancy super foods to make a super yummy pregnancy power salad.

  • 1 small head of romaine cut with a knife
  • 2 cups of raw spinach
  • 10-14 walnuts loosely crushed
  • 1 jicama, peeled and julienne
  • 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds
  • 2 hard boiled egg whites chopped
** You can also add avocado, chunks of corn or mandarin oranges


Lime vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup apple cider or red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, or brown rice oil
Place the chopped romaine and spinach in a bowl and drizzle the dressing to taste. Cover with jicama, walnuts, pomegranate seeds and egg whites and enjoy.
