Super tasty Red Detox Salad with red cabbage, celery, carrots and apples

[goldenira]

I have created this salad while running my health food eatery two years ago and keep having it when I need a fresh, vitamin & nutrient packed and detoxifying raw food.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of a middle sized red cabbage
• 1/2 of a celery root
• 2 big carrots
• 2 big apples
• juice of 1 small or medium lemon
• 1/2 tea spoon of lemon peel (make sure you use an organic lemon for your peel in order to avoid the additives on it)
• 1 table spoon of organic, cold pressed sunflower oil
• salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash and peel your veggies.
2. Julienne (cut in thin stripes) carrots, celery and apples. Mix the cut veggies with your lemon juice in a bowl in order to avoid the apples from changing their color.
3. Grate the red cabbage in thin slices.
4. Put the grated red cabbage in a big salad bowl, add salt and lemon peel and work this mixture with your hands to make the cabbage a little juicy (try not too hard, you want it still be fresh and crispy)
5. Add the other veggies to your cabbage and mix it well

It´s up to you on how sour you want your detox salad - feel free to add more or less lemon juice if needed.

Et voilà! Bon Appétit :)

Depending on how big your veggies are you are going to get 2-3 big salad portions.
