Juicy, ripe tomatoes are key for anyone managing GERD, GORD, or acid reflux. When fully ripened, they’re less acidic and more gut-friendly, making this salad a great option for those sensitive to digestive triggers.

Creamy avocado adds richness and healthy fats, delivering a powerful anti-inflammatory boost. Its unique plant sterols—campesterol, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol—along with omega-3s and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols (PFAs), help reduce systemic inflammation and support hormone balance.

Radishes bring a peppery crunch and are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. They help stimulate digestion and detoxify the liver while adding a colorful bite to every forkful. Radishes are also known to support skin and respiratory health.

The balsamic dressing ties it all together, adding a tangy-sweet finish that complements the freshness of the vegetables without overwhelming your digestive system. Choose a good-quality balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil to maximize flavor and health benefits.

This mixed salad with balsamic dressing is ideal for lunchboxes or as a vibrant side to your main meal. It’s gluten-free, nutrient-rich, and full of fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats—all in one bowl. A feel-good salad that’s anything but basic.
