The all vegan ingredients featured in this recipe not only taste good, but they also have natural detoxing properties. Combine a few ingredients into a simple salad that pairs well with most main meals.
Believed by many to have good-luck properties, cabbage (and other cruciferous vegetables) promotes healthy liver function, stimulating the body's natural detoxification process. The extra fiber in beets increases the production of antioxidant enzymes in the liver, helping the body eliminate bile and other toxic substances. Carrots have a high vitamin A content and are a natural defense against colon cancer. This recipe makes a bunch, so tossed together with a wonderful, unique dressing you'll be delighted and detoxified all week long!
Salad Ingredients:
-2 whole beets, cleaned and shredded
-4 whole carrots, cleaned and shredded
-1/2 head of shredded cabbage, suggesting Savory cabbage
-3 green onions sliced on a diagonal
-1/3 cup of raw sunflower seeds
-1/3 cup of currants
Dressing Ingredients:
-1/3 cup olive oil
-3 TBSP lemon juice (start with 2 and add another if needed)
-2 TSP apple cider vinegar
-1 TSP braggs liquid aminos (or tamari)
-2 TBSP Tahini
-1/2 TSP cumin
-1/4 TSP cinnamon
Using a box grater or food processor, grate the beets, carrots and cabbage and toss together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients and toss with the green onions, currants and sunflower seeds into the veggies and let it "cook" the veggies in the refrigerator for a few hours. The flavor will intensify and meld the longer your salad sits, so use it as a super food side in your meals this week and see how amazing you feel in one week. Serving size is 1 cup.
I'd love to hear your feedback! This recipe has tons of veggie goodness, but not nearly as much as a glass of shakeology. If you haven't tried it or head of it before, email me today! I drink a shake a day for breakfast. It's amazing and tastes GREAT!
