This exciting salad is a powerhouse of 50+g protein, 15+g fiber, antioxidants and healthy fats😍. The combination of lean proteins to supports muscle, while the fiber-rich vegetables keep blood sugar stable and digestion top notch. Healthy fats from avocado, peanut butter, and sesame oil nourish hormones, skin, and brain function.
Purple cabbage is a standout here it’s rich in anthocyanins (the same antioxidants found in blueberries), which help reduce inflammation, support heart health, and protect your cells from aging. It’s also high in vitamin C for immune support and collagen production, and surprisingly powerful for gut health due to its fiber content.
The garlic, ginger, and citrus in the dressing further support digestion and reduce inflammation, making this one of those meals that not only fuels you, but actively helps your body feel better over time.
Save my recipe;
1. Prep your base
Thinly shred ¼ purple cabbage and place in a large bowl.
2. Add greens & herbs
Add ½ cup chopped cilantro (or basil/parsley) and 1 cup of any other greens (kale, arugula, or white cabbage).
3. Add crunch & color
Peel and shred 1 carrot, then add to the bowl.
4. Add creaminess
Slice ½ to 1 avocado and gently fold into the salad.
5. Warm your protein
In a skillet, heat:
Any of your protein, tofu, fish, I used here:
• 5-6 oz sous vide chicken (Roli Roti)
• 1 cup of frozen organic edamame
add on top of the salad.
