Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1–1/2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

Nuts & Seeds

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

Other Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup organic raisins

Vinaigrette Dressing

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chop the Ingredients: Either chop all the vegetables and parsley finely using a sharp knife, or pulse them individually in a food processor a few times until finely chopped, ensuring even texture throughout the salad.
  2. Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a mason jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, clover honey, and sea salt. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until well blended. Alternatively, mix these ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly. Refrigerate the vinaigrette for up to an hour before use to enhance the flavors.
  3. Toss the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, parsley, almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately for maximum crunch and freshness, or refrigerate briefly to chill before serving.

Notes

  • For optimal texture, do not over-process the vegetables; they should remain crisp and crunchy.
  • The salad can be refrigerated for a few hours but is best enjoyed fresh to maintain crunchiness.
  • Adjust honey amount in the vinaigrette to taste for sweetness.
  • Use organic ingredients when possible for a cleaner detox meal.
  • Raisins can be substituted with dried cranberries or chopped dates if preferred.
