The spring is a wonderful time to detox your body with seasonal foods. Cruciferous vegetables, which are plentiful this time of year, is a powerful group of produce that promotes detoxification.  Use a few or all of these ingredients to create your own detox salad.

Veggies:

Red or green cabbage, shredded

Kale or any other leafy green, shredded (my favorite is Lacinato Kale)

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Toppings (Choose 1 or more):

Toasted or Raw Almonds                 Hemp seeds

Sunflower seeds            Avocado slices        Fresh herbs

Dressing: Lemon and Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions: Combine all vegetables in a bowl. Add toppings and drizzle a little EVOO and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top. Mix well and enjoy!

Enjoy cruciferous vegetables daily for maximum benefits!
