Ingredients

• 2 cups kale
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts (roughly chopped)
• 2 cups red cabbage (roughly chopped)
• 1 cup carrots (roughly chopped)
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1 to 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (or juice of two lemons)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
• 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Using a food processor, process all the veggies up to the parsley until finely chopped and mix them together in a large bowl. This step may take a few batches to get everything nicely chopped.

2. Add Nuts and Seeds: Add the almonds to the food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Mix the chopped almonds into the salad along with the sunflower seeds.

3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), and salt.

4. Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well combined. Alternatively, you can place the dressing in a mason jar and shake it up before drizzling it over the salad.

5. Enjoy: Serve the salad fresh and enjoy a nutritious meal!

How to Serve My Favorite Detox Salad

This detox salad is great on its own, or you can serve it with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu for extra protein. It also works well as a side dish at barbecues or gatherings. If you want a little kick, add some chili flakes on top!

How to Store My Favorite Detox Salad

If you have leftovers, store your detox salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within a couple of days. Be careful with the dressing; if you have it mixed in, it can make the salad wilt quickly.

Tips to Make My Favorite Detox Salad

• Prep Ahead: Chop the veggies ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge for quick assembly when you’re ready to eat.
• Customize: Feel free to swap out or add other vegetables, such as cucumbers or bell peppers, based on your preference.
• Add Protein: If you want this salad to be a meal, consider adding beans or lentils for more filling protein.

Variation

You can also switch the dressing by using a balsamic vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing for a creamier option.

FAQs

Can I make this salad vegan?

Yes! Just use maple syrup instead of honey, and you’ve got a vegan-friendly salad.

How long does the salad last in the fridge?

The salad is best eaten within 2-3 days. If it has dressing on it, try to eat it sooner to avoid the greens wilting.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

While fresh vegetables are recommended for the best taste and texture, you can use frozen vegetables that you thaw and chop. Just make sure to drain excess water before adding them to the salad.
