So it’s important to allow these toxins to move out of our body and replenish it so it can be thriving on all levels. We can easily kick- start our natural cleansing mechanisms by ensuring we include food rich in natural compounds which support the liver.

Vegetables like bitter greens such as rocket, radicchio or watercress as well are great detoxifiers, as are brassica vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Beetroot and turmeric (fresh or powdered) are great to have in the mix too.

Use the salad recipe as a base to throw on whatever protein you have hanging around. Things like sustainable tuna, slices of leftover steak, hardboiled egg all make tasty options.
