I call this a Detox Salad because it’s extremely alkaline, simple, clean and refreshing. The kale, fennel and cucumber are great for eliminating toxins from the body. Dill and mint are good as internal cleansers and for aiding digestion too. This is a go-to salad for a summer or getting back on track after too many foodie indulgences while travelling.
Eat this on it’s own for lunch or dinner with a little fish or as a side with our Healthy Chicken Meatballs. You could also dress this with our Creamy Tahini Dressing.
