Detox Salad
I love the way that a few simple spices can jazz up your everyday veggies to make this detox salad. And with both broccoli and cauliflower being a powerhouse of nutrients to help cleanse and nourish your body this recipe will be a hit with all the family.
This salad is great warm when freshly made and is still tasty when cold in a pre-prepped or light leftover lunch.
The chickpeas and cashews provide you with protein whilst the broccoli, cauli and spinach give you lots of detox nutrients and you can always add some shredded pre-cooked chicken or pulled pork if you need meat.
Feel free to swop in your favourite veggies and herbs to make a detox salad more suited to your taste-buds. As an alternative, ditch the chickpeas for any other legumes that you have on hand or prefer.
