Big Batch Healing Salad

With nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory ingredients like kale, cabbage, turmeric, and ginger, this big batch healing is the perfect veggie side to help get you feeling good in no time!

This big batch healing salad is perfect for those times where you're feeling like you may have over-indulged just a bit. In the past, I'd immediately feel like I needed a cleanse or detox after a vacation, the holidays, or even one-too-many cookies, but, over time I learned that all I really needed get back to feeling good was a big dose of greens and some extra water. This combination always gives me an extra boost of energy, while helping reduce inflammation and speed up detoxification.

This big batch healing salad is loaded with super-foods and, since the base is cruciferous veggies, it can be made in advance so you can keep eating it all week! You'll thinly shred nutrient-dense lacinato kale, antioxidant-rich purple cabbage, and cilantro, which is a powerful detoxifying agent, and toss them with a creamy dressing, which is really the star of the show. Sunbutter makes a creamy, slightly salty base for the dressing, then lemon juice and apple cider vinegar are added to give the salad just a hint of acidity. Finally, you'll add fresh ginger and turmeric for a big dose of anti-inflammatory power

We hope you enjoy this big batch healing salad as much as we do!
