Summer is salad season, and what better kind of salad to consume than a detox salad? These Cabbage Carrot Slaw detox salad is not only delicious, but liver-supporting and cleansing, too!
What I love most about salads is their versatility. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you’ve got something super flavourful and nutrient-dense. The best salads involve those that utilize a variety of flavours and textures, and each detox salad recipe I’m sharing does just that!
