This vibrant mixed salad is a perfect addition to your picnic spread—and it’s packed with ingredients that support fertility and overall wellness, especially when you’re living an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.

Avocado is a star ingredient here. Rich in plant-based hormones known as phytosterols, like stigmasterol, sitosterol, and campesterol, avocados help reduce chronic inflammation, which is key for hormone balance and reproductive health. They’re also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols (PFAs), both known for their powerful anti-inflammatory effects.

Next up: anchovies. These tiny fish are a nutritional powerhouse, offering a strong dose of zinc, essential for both fertility and a healthy immune system. Plus, anchovies support bone strength, healthy teeth, muscle function, blood pressure regulation, and even sleep quality—another vital factor in supporting reproductive health.

Tuna rounds out this trio of fertility-friendly proteins. It's rich in essential nutrients that support hormonal balance, cardiovascular health, and glowing skin.

Crunchy greens, crisp veggies, and a simple yet zesty dressing tie everything together in this beautifully balanced salad. Don’t forget to pack a fresh lemon wedge—just a quick squeeze before serving adds brightness and brings out all the flavors.

Whether you're enjoying a lazy afternoon in the sun or planning a nourishing on-the-go meal, this Picnic Mixed Salad is delicious, satisfying, and designed to nourish your body from the inside out.
