This is an simple satisfying anti-inflammatory recipe for an egg roll in a bowl salad that you will love for lunch or dinner!

We’ve all heard of the low-carb wonder called egg roll in a bowl. In fact, we have a recipe that’s quite popular here. However, today we wanted to make this egg roll in a bowl more nutritious and more anti-inflammatory. So, we’re turning this deliciousness into a salad with lots of greens and spiced lean ground beef.

We know, you might not be a huge fan of salads, trust us we had to work hard to love them too! We did this by drinking a smoothie daily and trying to have a side of raw vegetables with everything for a few years now.

Raw vegetables, like those in salads, are where the nutrients are still intact and you get to serve them to your body on a silver platter. Or whatever platter you want to use. Just give your body the vitamins, the phytochemicals and the minerals that actually have anti-inflammatory properties. When you cook the vegetables, their popular nutrients disappear like Casper.

We will also keep this salad lower-carb, because as we mentioned here a higher glycemic index can increase not just your blood sugar, but also chronic inflammation.

How it comes together

To make this salad more anti-inflammatory, we will do several things a bit differently, we’ll:

  • cook the lean ground beef with lots of anti-inflammatory spices for shorter periods of time and add some moisture
  • use lots of highly nutritious anti-inflammatory foods in their raw form like cabbage, scallions and broccoli, ginger and avocado
  • keep the glycemic index low and thus your blood sugar stable (essential to reduce inflammation)
  • add more omega-3’s by using flax oil and adding flaxseeds – this might not be for everyone, we like to add a little bit for a boost in omega-3’s

We hope you enjoy this anti-inflammatory salad version of an egg roll in a bowl, here’s the complete recipe! Let us know whether you like it and what changes did you make to make it more “yours”.
