Healthy, because
This salad is great for the immune system thanks to the high vitamin C content from the blueberries and the beta-carotene contained in the carrots. The walnuts are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids which is important for the function of the brain and the blood vessels. Additionally, the mustard oils from the radish are good for digestion.
Even smarter
Instead of blueberries, you can mix half a grated apple or 40 grams of corn kernels into the salad. Another delicious option is to mix 1 tbsp. of natural yogurt into the dressing and leave out the fruit.
