How do you make a detox salad?

Detox salads are very easy to make and make a lot.

• Combine chopped broccoli, cauliflower, purple cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots, kale, green onions, dried cranberries and slivered almonds in a bowl.
• Toss to mix and then add dressing when ready to serve.

Tips for making Detox Kale Salad:

• The best way I have found to make this salad is finely chopping all the ingredients that way you are getting a good portion of all the greens in one bite.
• I recommend not putting the salad dressing on the salad until you are ready to eat it so avoid your salad from getting soggy. If serving it for a group of friends I would put the dressing on the side so people can add as much or as little as they want.
• This Detox Kale Salad last for about 5 days in your refrigerator.  I would place a piece of saran wrap over the top and then place an airtight lid over the saran wrap to keep the freshness.  Also by not adding the salad dressing it will last longer and stay fresher.
