This salad, made with red beets and red endive is not only delicious, it’s also extremely good for your skin. Red and orange coloured fruit and vegetables contain a high percentage of beta-carotene, which fights free radicals. It also helps to protect your skin from damaging UV-rays because it helps to produce melanin.
Having enough red fruits and vegetables in your diet fights the ageing of the skin and last but not least, it’s also a boost to your immune system. So start eating!
