Reimagining 7 colours with Vitality
Heritage Day is all about family, food and celebrating our diverse and wonderful cultures. This month, we're reimagining the traditional South African 7 colours meal with a Vitality twist.
A 7 colours meal is a beloved South African food tradition, especially on Sundays and Heritage Day. It gets its name from the rainbow of colourful side dishes that are typically served with roast chicken, beef or a braai.
The 7 colours tradition represents family, culture and celebration, with each colour bringing vibrancy and balance to the table.
This Heritage Day, we're reimagining the tradition with a Vitality 7 colours side dish, a vibrant, nutritious dish made with most ingredients in the Vitality HealthyFood Catalogue.
Vitality 7 colours rainbow salad
Colourful, nutritious and easy to prepare, our Vitality 7 colours rainbow salad is made with fresh Vitality HealthyFood ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together:
- Red: Roasted beetroot cubes or cherry tomatoes
- Orange: Grated carrots or roasted butternut
- Yellow: Sweetcorn kernels or yellow peppers
- Green: Baby spinach, green beans or broccoli florets
- Purple: Red cabbage slaw (adds crunch and colour)
- White: Cauliflower pearls or chickpeas for protein
- Brown/Wholegrain: Quinoa or brown lentils for fibre and satiety
Colourful, nutritious and easy to prepare, this rainbow salad is everything.
