Zucchini and Carrot Salad with Onions
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which is important for the eyes, among other things.
Since beta-carotene or vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, you should never omit the oil in this salad. Without some fat, the vitamin cannot be absorbed by the body.
