A lovely light detox recipe. Using cauliflower instead of grains keeps this wonderfully light and refreshing and paleo friendly. Cruciferous vegetables are so healthy and fabulous for cleansing. The detox support provided by cauliflower includes antioxidant nutrients to boost Phase 1 detoxification activities and sulphur-containing nutrients to boost Phase 2 pathways. Cauliflower also contains glucosinolates that can help activate detoxification enzymes to promote healthy elimination of toxins including more harmful forms of oestrogens. You can make this totally raw simply by adding the raw onion and spices to the salad rather than cooking them first.

Cauliflower is also packed with vitamin C plus a range of phytonutrients such as Beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, caffeic acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, rutin, and kaempferol. It’s also rich in vitamin K – known for its anti-inflammatory benefits and support brain health and bone health. Using an omega blended oil in the dressing is a great way to boost your intake of essential fats.
D-Limonene, an oil nutrient, is an amazing natural compound found in lemon and orange peels. It has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, offers assistance for a variety of metabolic and health problems, has anti-cancer properties, and even helps with weight management.
