Rainbow Detox Salad

Melissa King 29 Comments

From the minute I got my spiralizer, I knew I wanted to make a beet salad.  I just love beets.  Roasted, raw, juiced or as chips.  This salad is not only delicious, it will make you feel amazing!  The very first thing I did with the spiralizer was make my Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Pesto.

If you are wanting to get more beets into your diet, then this is the recipe to try.  The whole thing can be made in a short amount of time.  Spiralizing vegetables makes them fun for kids to eat too.

    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.

    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

      1. Steam the broccoli. I used a rice cooker/steamer to do this. 
      2. 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. 
      3. While the broccoli is steaming and the quinoa is cooking, throw all the ingredients together for the dressing. 
      4. Whisk them in a small bowl . 
      5. Once the quinoa and broccoli are done throw everything together in one big bowl .

      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!
