Detox Salad


Things like caffeine and sugar make me feel sluggish.  Things like this salad make me feel better.  I eat salads like this whenever I'm feeling a little off.  For this particular one, I shredded and grated:

1/4 head green cabbage
2 small beets
2 carrots
1 apple

Then I diced:

1 cucumber
1/2 avocado

Then I poured on:

1 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. apple cider vinegar
A handful of sunflower seeds

You can use any healthy, detoxifying vegetables you have on hand.  The lemon juice and apple cider vinegar give it so much flavor that you don't even need to add oil or salt.  Trust me: you'll feel better after eating this.

  1. That sounds good. I want to try it, but I can't have avocado, so what would you recommend instead?
