Hi! I don't know if I was overly hungry but I couldn't stop eating this salad. This recipe claims to be a detox salad because of the ingredients and I will share with you my adaptation of the original recipe found at DetoxDIY (get it? Detox D-I-Y? funny). So what attracted me to this salad it's portability. I liked that they were all crunchy pieces that could take a beating in a container and still taste fresh. I did skip the dressing, mainly because I am on the Whole 30 Program and I wanted to stay compliant. The only ingredient that I would not recommend making prior to consumption is the mixing in the avocado. I am not a huge fan of avocado mixed into a salad. I think it loses it's composition and starts to spread itself onto everything else and I don't like that. Avocado in guacamole is different, because it is a spread. So, let's get to it!
The What's:
- 1 small broccoli head, cut in small florets
- ¼ small red cabbage head, finely diced
- 1 small red onion, finely diced (I don't like raw onions so I omitted)
- 1 avocado, peeled and cut in cubes
- To garnish: toasted almonds and chia seeds
The How's:
Prepare everything as listed in the ingredient section and mix all together. I added cherry tomatoes quartered and left out the avocado until I dressed the salad. I skipped the dressing portion and used the juice of a lemon, salt and light olive oil as my dressing. Once dressed, I added in the almonds, chia seeds and avocado. I lightly tossed these together and serve. I ate and I ate and I ate. Pretty guilt-free too I may add!
