Salads are a staple in the summer and Ayurveda recommends eating to support your digestion. Try these Ayurvedic dressings to help balance the cold, drying qualities of salad which may cause bloating, gas and indigestion.

If you are using cruciferous vegetables in your salad such as broccoli, kale, and cauliflower, first steam them lightly, then add them to your salad. Eat fresh, and eat to support your digestion!
