Taiga Salad
Berries are the main ingredient of this salad. In the Russian Taiga - the vast coniferous forest in Siberia - grow many delicious and healthy berries. Cranberries and blueberries are especially popular in Russia. These little sweet-sour vitamin bombs contain a variety of antioxidants and phytochemicals such as flavonoids that help combat diseases and have strong anti aging properties.
