Detoxifying yet delicious raw salad, perfect for jumpstarting and maintaining your New Year’s Resolution!
I’m sure most of us can agree that the holidays are a distracting time, especially for our diets. Between holiday fun, a beautiful vacation in the Caribbean and school wasting no time to start back up, I’ve been a little neglectful of the blog; but I’m back with tons of new ideas for this year!

I personally did not make resolutions this year because I decided I should be aiming at improving myself all the time. But it’s not to say that after the holidays and a vacation I don’t need a little kick start back into my healthier eating ways. And so, here is a salad recipe I came up with designed to detoxify and help shed some of that winter coat!
This salad is delicious, full of fresh and crisp flavors, all the while helping the body rid itself of built up waste. Since I’ve been eating in more of a constant detoxing manner salads are a big part of that habit. I love salads, they are versatile and delicious, which is important when trying to eat more healthy foods. Don’t be fooled by how simple and raw this recipe is, even Noah LOVED this salad!

Since raw kale and brussels sprouts are both a little waxy and tough, the salad is best prepared a few hours in advance so the lemon juice can break down the greens a little and can last in the fridge for 3-4 days! (also consider a dash of Olive Oil as an option if you prefer)
The Innards:
- 1 bunch Kale, shredded
- 1 lb Brussels Sprouts, shredded
- 1 large Shallot, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Fresh Dill, chopped
- Zest and Juice of 2 Lemons
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 6
How to Make it:
1. Start by shredding your kale and brussels sprouts. For the kale, just cut out the rib and discard it then chop it into thin strips.

For the brussels sprouts, cut off the bottoms, halve them lengthwise and then thinly slice them.
2. In a large bowl mix the shredded greens with the sliced shallot and chopped dill.
3. Zest and juice two fresh lemons over the salad and mix.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
