Antipasto salad

Antipasto salad that reduces risk of prostate and breast cancer, keeps heart disease at bay, and helps to prevent cataracts? These are only some of the health benefits of cauliflower and carrots which I use in this tasty salad; and I did not even start listing those of green beans and green peas. This healthy salad can be prepared in advance, chilled and stored for several days.

Healthy antipasto salad which could also be called anti-cancer and anti-heart-disease. Is antipasto salad fattening? Not this one - it can be cooked without oil at all; however, excluding oil will reduce overall health benefits of the antipasto salad.
