My favourite 'slaw' option!

This cleansing apple, carrot, beet, parsley and lemon slaw is one of my favourite from-scratch options as a side dish salad, or in tacos, on a burger, or tucked into a wrap!

And...it's perfectly suited to the warm, sunny days of spring and summer when you most often crave the crisp, refreshing and cleansing recipe options!

It's quick-and-easy to make, fiber-rich and DELICIOUS!

With these types of recipes, I eyeball the ingredients for relative proportions to one another, largely using appearance and taste as indicators. You can't really go wrong here!

About a few of the key ingredients...

Beets ~

• Contain a group of phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients) called Betalains, which provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxification support
• Betalains particularly support Phase 2 liver detoxification; while Phase 1 neutralizes unwanted substances in the body, Phase 2 supports the binding of these substances, in preparation for them to exit your body when you POOP! 

Lemon ~

• While acidic in nature, the metabolism/breakdown of lemon in the body leaves an alkaline residue
• Therefore, lemon is extremely valuable for helping to alkalize the internal environment; inflammation loves to thrive in an acidic environment!
• Lemon also supports the stimulation of our digestive juices and metabolism, immune function, and detoxification by our liver as a highly cleansing, whole food ingredient
