Carrot Ginger Detox Salad. On Memorial Day, my daughter wanted to have a picnic at the park. Since it was a spontaneous decision, we stopped at Whole Foods to get some picnic food.
My husband and I shared two things that day they were absolutely delicious. The first one was a rice salad. I re-created that for the blog already with my Wheat Berry Salad with Cranberries. The other thing we had was a detox salad. So, this is my version of that.
This was amazing! Super easy too. I just had to share it with all of you.

Ingredients
For the salad
- 1-2 heads of broccoli
- 3 carrots shredded
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
For the dressing
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 T toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1 T soy sauce or Bragg's Aminos (for GF) (I used organic SanJ shoyu )
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Steam the broccoli. I used a rice cooker/steamer to do this.
- In a sauce pan , cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. I already had some quinoa in my fridge. We always have some kind of grain in the fridge to make our meals stretch longer.
- While the broccoli is steaming and the quinoa is cooking, throw all the ingredients together for the dressing.
- Whisk them in a small bowl .
- Once the quinoa and broccoli are done throw everything together in one big bowl .
Recipe Notes
This should last at least a week in the fridge. I think it tastes great hot or cold. I got about 4-5 servings out of my batch. Enjoy!
