How To Make The Best Salad Ever

Step by Step.

  • Start with the most nutrient dense dark leafy greens: Kale and Spinach. 
  • Broccoli (The best source of sulforaphane which promotes liver detoxification, and Indole-3-carbinol, an anticarcinogenic compound)
  • Broccoli Sprouts (Concentrated sulforaphane & I3C. Do not exceed four cups of sprouts per day)
  • 1/3 cup cranberries
  • Cauliflower
  • Cabbage (white or purple)
  • Slice of red onion (yellow or green onions may actually be better)
  • Leeks
  • Artichokes
  • Red, Yellow, or Green Peppers
  • Shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 an Avocado
  • Squash
  • Zucchini
  • Raw Sunflower seeds (sprouted is better)
  • Raw Almonds (sprouted is better)
  • Sprouted Garbanzo Beans
  • Sprouted Mung Beans
  • Sprouted Red or Green Lentils

Can add:

  • Kimchi 

Kimchi is a spicy Korean version of sauerkraut typically consisting of fermented cabbage, onions, garlic, and pepper. Kim Chi has high concentrations of Vitamin C and carotene in addition to Vitamin A, B1, B2, calcium, iron and beneficial lactic acid bacteria. It’s recognised as one of the Top Five “World’s Healthiest Foods” by Health magazine. Also in the refrigerated section.

Fermented foods are great for digestion and repopulate your intestinal flora with beneficial bacteria essential for health.

Repeat: Absolutely no cheese, meat, fruit, or store-bought salad dressing.

I know it seems weird to exclude fruit. Here’s why:

Fruits and vegetables need different digestive juices, and when eaten together, they can create excess acid and indigestion.

That is why it’s a good idea to eat them separately, especially if you are sick. This even includes non-sweet fruits, like tomatoes and cucumbers.
