This is one of my favorite salads that is very simple yet very nutritious. It supports healthy digestion and elimination.
- Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and horseradish provide fiber and antioxidants.
- Lemon provides Vitamin C.
- Cashews and sesame seeds provide minerals, protein, and anti-inflammatory fats.
Trust me, your body will thank you!
