Tasty Detox Salad

Last Updated on October 23, 2019

 

Packed with 5 Super Foods

I randomly came up with this detox salad recipe one day as I was scrolling through different kale salad recipes. Finding news ways to get lots of green superfoods in my diet on a regular basis is always a plus. Superfoods like broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, almonds and of course kale!  Sometimes you need something more than just a regular salad. This is also a slight variation to a broccoli grape salad my mom makes. You can make this one up ahead of time and eat it all week long, take it to a holiday gathering, potluck or BBQ.
