Asparagus, Rocket, Avocado & Egg Salad for Healthy Hair

This superfood salad is perfect for lunch or even a light dinner.  It not only has some of my favourite ingredients, it also supports hair health with its nourishing nutrients, vitamins, oils and minerals.  

This salad provides healthy fats for shiny hair (avocado & olive oil). Protein, zinc, potassium, copper, magnesium, biotin (eggs), vitamin E and vitamin B (sunflower seeds) and chlorophyll (rocket) for a healthy scalp and hair.

Hair is at least 90% protein, eggs provide the much needed protein for hair growth.  Their amino acid L-Lysine also allows for absorption of nutrients, meaning that eggs play a role in keeping hair strong.  

Know that you can enjoy a delicious meal, whilst supporting your hair health!
