Detoxifying Daikon Salad
Boost your liver's detox power with this easy daikon-carrot salad! Packed with nutrients and perfect for meal prep ๐ฑ๐
Daikon is packed with detox-supporting nutrients like glucosinolates, which boost liver enzyme activity for detoxification. Itโs also a good source of vitamin C for antioxidant protection, fiber for digestion, and potassium for heart and blood pressure and healthy electrolyte balance.
Carrots ๐ฅare another favorite of mine for their beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, supporting immune, eye, and skin health.
When daikon is in season, I meal prep this salad weekly, often doubling the ingredients. I usually have 2 tbsp every day, sometimes more since itโs hard to stop eating it! Yes - itโs that good.
Pro tip: Pair this with cooked broccoli to boost its detox power! Raw daikon introduces myrosinase, an enzyme that helps create sulforaphane, broccoliโs well-known detox and anti-inflammatory hero! For this reason, I try to pair cooked broccoli with some ๐ฟ raw cruciferous veggies all the time ๐ฅฆ
