They key goal in helping to manage inflammation are consuming anti-inflammatory foods. That includes, green leafy vegetables and fruits and less processed driven foods. Although this may not be easy once transitioning onto a healthy lifestyle catered towards endometriosis, I can ensure you that it is tangible. When creating this salad I wanted to make sure that I included things that I love and would have a lot of flavor. I chose red and yellow peppers because they are more on the sweeter side. They also have high levels of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and absorb non-heme iron. Pair this with all the other ingredients (listed below) and you have a great balanced salad.
