Rhubarb, Fennel & Herb Salad With Honey Dressing
"Rhubarb in a salad is the perfect way to appreciate its sharp yet delicate flavour, and this vibrant dish is a genuine gut-health powerhouse. Rich in fibre, prebiotics and probiotics to feed the microbiome, every element earns its place. Fennel helps relieve bloating and promotes healthy gut function, apple cider vinegar stimulates digestive enzymes to support digestion, and a generous handful of fresh herbs provides an abundance of polyphenols to support gut health further," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
