The Cleansing Salad

For the past three years I’ve brought the New Year in with a three-day fast. And each time I’m eager to return to whole, healthy raw foods. The following recipe makes a simple yet satisfying meal that eases the transition from fast to food.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

• 8  kale leaves
• 1  carrot, grated
• 3⁄4 cup purple cabbage
• 2  celery ribs
• 4  radishes
• 4  broccoli florets
• 4  cauliflower florets
• 1  green onion
• 1⁄2 avocado
• 1  tablespoon  hemp seeds
•  apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. • Chop kale, broccoli, cauliflower and green onion.
2. • Grate carrot.
3. • Thinly slice celery, radish and purple cabbage, and break up cabbage slices.
4. • Throw ingredients into 1 or 2 serving bowls (recipe serves 2, after a fast anyway).
5. • Top with cubed avocado and hemp seeds.
6. • Dress with apple cider vinegar.
