Una Lluvia Tropical [Spa/Eng]

Greetings Community

Wishing you an excellent start to the week and a fabulous one!
Salads are part of our daily diet. Some people like them, others don't, depending on the ingredients used. Sometimes we come across different combinations that are pleasing to the palate. Sometimes we follow recipes, other times our creativity leads us to invent, as we say, to find a solution and see how they turn out.

Cabbage is widely used and has many ways of being prepared. It's highly recommended because it contains many nutrients that strengthen our bodies. It comes in white and purple varieties. In this recipe, white cabbage was used.

Another ingredient is carrot, also highly recommended for its vitamin content, which is ideal for eye health. It's grated but not cooked.

Mango is a fruit, and this ingredient is also among the foods rich in nutrients for our bodies. It's also used in various sweet recipes, and this time it's an ingredient in a salad.

Playing with the ingredients we have at home is about not getting stuck in the famous phrase, "If only I had..." or "If only..." It's about taking what we have on hand and creating healthy and nutritious combinations.

A tropical rain is a way of honoring the fruit we're using, the mango, because it's a staple for Venezuelans. We have a national history of this, in every remote village and city of our beautiful country. Thank you for being here.
