Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, kale and brussel sprouts have super immune boosting properties and definitely qualify as a “super foods.” In this cruciferous salad, we use of those vegetables to offer an amazing crunch and juiciness! Then we use avocado as the healthy fat, replacing an extracted oil as the base for our dressing. It’s a salad that works year-round!

Pair the salad with the Peanut Curry recipe below.  The peanut butter and the pineapple work magically with the heat of the curry and cayenne powder. You can also add this sauce to a whole grain pad thai or brown rice and steamed veggies

 

CRUCIFEROUS SALAD:
½ head of red cabbage-chopped
½ bunch green kale-torn to pieces
1 ripe haas avocado
1 lemon-squeezed for juice
½ cup fresh dill-minced
1 Tbsp reduced sodium tamari
1 tsp fresh garlic-micro planed
1 tsp fresh ginger-micro planed
