RECIPE: Pomegranate & Goji Detox Salad

There’s nothing better than a good salad, especially if you’ve done your fair share of overeating over the festive period. One of the keys to staying healthy is to have a fully stocked fridge full of greens, fresh fruit and vegetables. This way, you can throw a delicious salad like the one below together, make a smoothie or juice which floods your body with much needed vitamins and minerals. Pomegranate isn’t something that I buy very often but I am loving these colourful balls of goodness.

Pomegranate and Goji Detox Salad

• 2 handfuls of rocket leaves
• 2 inch chunk cucumber (sliced into thin rounds, stacked on top of eachother and sliced into strips)
• 1/2 avocado, cubed
• 1/4 red pepper, chopped into small pieces
• 2 florets broccoli, chopped into super fine pieces
• 1 handful goji berries
• 1 handful pumpkin seeds
• 1-2 handfuls pomegranate seeds
• 1 small handful shelled hemp seeds

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• Pinch black pepper
• Sprinkle of crystal manna (optional and definitely not essential)

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a bowl, pour over the dressing and serve. (be sure to chop the broccoli into very small bits, especially if you’re not keen on raw broccoli. You won’t even notice it!)
