Rainbow Salad (serves 2)

I just love salads.  The issue is knowing what is high in Vitamin K and what is not.  Here is a Rainbow salad full of colours.  We try to eat as much of the rainbow as we can and this one is great as a booster for my VItamin K.  The Vitamin K booster in this recipe comes from the pea shoots at 160mcg per serving for them alone, surprisingly the lettuce only gives 19mcg in comparison. 

I like them if my INR is too high in my Therapeutic Range or if I fancy a small prosecco and they give that 'I am eating healthy natural taste' to the meal.  You can have this as a light meal, a colour boosting snack or as a side salad.  If you dont want too  much Vitamin K, cut out the pea shoots.
