3 DETOX SALAD RECIPES | Easy & Healthy Recipes #SALADRECIPES

Hey everyone, summer is salad season and so today I'm going to share with you three detox salad recipes. I've been completely obsessed with making each of these. All three are not only really flavorful and nutrient dense, but they contain specific ingredients that promote detoxification. So they're refreshing, they're delicious, and they're cleansing too. I know you guys will love them. So let's get started. Salad number one is a cabbage and carrot slaw with a lemon tahini dressing. So you're going to start by chopping up some purple cabbage into strips and cabbage is a cruciferous veggie that helps to promote detoxification because of the compounds such as indole-3-carbinol that it contains. Same with kale, you're going to take a few kale leaves and chop them up. You're going to grate up some carrot as well and throw it all into a bowl and give it a little mix around. Next you're going to chop up some cilantro which is excellent for detox because it helps to chelate heavy metals in our body. So throw that all into a bowl and top it with some dried cranberries and some sunflower seeds as well. Next we're going to move on to the lemon tahini dressing. You can find the full recipe on my blog. We're going to mix together tahini, some raw local honey, some fresh squeezed lemon juice which is great for digestion, it's very alkalizing, great for our liver, and some extra virgin olive oil and some apple cider vinegar which similar to lemon is great for digestion, very mineral rich, and you're going to do a little bit of minced garlic and some pepper as well. So whisk that together until it's nice and smooth and then you can just drizzle it onto the slaw that we have here and then mix it together so all of the flavors are combined. This salad is great if you let it sit for five to ten minutes so that the hearty cabbage and kale can absorb all of the dressing and the flavors. It's also great to make for a few days worth of lunches because it can handle marinating in the sauce for a couple of days and it's just so good. So there you have it, salad number one. Next up we have a kale beet salad with a ginger dijon dressing. So you're going to begin by taking a few kale leaves and pulling them off of the stems like so and you can just sort of tear them apart so that you have a whole bunch of kale pieces and then you're just going to transfer that into a bowl and what you're going to want to do is take just a little tiny bit of olive oil and then massage it in with your hands and what this does is it helps to kind of break apart the fibrous component of the kale. Next we're going to take a beet and we're going to grate the beet like so. This makes quite a mess, it is very pigmented but the more colorful the better. Beets are excellent for liver detoxification by helping our liver to eliminate toxins and other harmful substances. So we're going to take a pear, we're going to dice that up and we're going to throw that on top of the salad as well and then we're going to take half an avocado and dice that up too. Next up you're going to throw on some pumpkin seeds which are rich in zinc, great for our immune system. Some slivered almonds as well for some crunch and on to the dressing. So you're just going to need a chunk of ginger. I like to use this garlic press here because it kind of minces it for you but you can chop up the ginger if you'd like to by hand. Ginger is so great for digestion and it's anti-inflammatory as well. Next you're going to take some Dijon mustard. I love Dijon mustard I must say. Some balsamic or some apple cider vinegar and some olive oil too and give it a whisk. After that's become nice and creamy you can just drizzle that on top of the salad and you're done! I cannot get enough of Dijon mustard lately in my salad dressings and with this salad in particular it goes so well with the beets and the avocado and the ginger. Lastly we have my carrot cinnamon salad with a creamy tahini dressing and this is an old favorite of mine that I've kind of jazzed up for this detox variation. So you're just going to take some carrot, grate that up. I'm also going to take an apple and dice that up into little bite-sized pieces. So throw that all into a bowl and next you're going to take some fresh basil and chop that up finely. The basil is honestly what makes the salad so good plus it's very anti-inflammatory and it's antioxidant rich which helps to protect our body from free radical damage. So mix that all together in the bowl. Next we're going to mix in some cinnamon which is great for balancing blood sugar levels and really brings out the sweetness in this salad and a handful of some raisins. So mix that around until it's all combined and then you can take another bowl place some arugula in there and top it with our carrot apple mixture and we can get started on the dressing. So this one is some more tahini, some olive oil, some apple cider vinegar, again great for digestion, a little bit of raw unpasteurized honey, some dried basil in there too and give that a whisk. Once it's all combined you can drizzle it on top and there you have it salad number three. I love that this salad has such a blend of sweet and savory and all of the different flavors really come together and it's just so good. So I hope you guys try out these three detox salad recipes.
