Detox Kale and Quinoa Salad Recipe

This cleansing kale and quinoa salad couldn’t have come at a better time. After a holiday weekend spent feasting on creamy cheeses, cured meats, pies, cookies and cocktails, my body was begging pleading for a big bowl of healthy and nutritious goodness. Something light, easy to digest and with ingredients that have cleansing properties for the body.

This is a happy detox kale and salad recipe that’s filling and soothing to the soul – especially if you feel heavy around the waistline like I do right now!

The ingredients are readily available and there is little work involved. I’m using pickled beets instead of fresh ones because of their lovely tangy and acidic flavor. Plus, dealing with them is a mess-free process as they are ready to eat. Since we’ve all been spending a L-O-T of time in the kitchen this past week, I think we can all agree that easier is better!

There are many health benefits to eating a nutritious dish like this detox kale and quinoa salad:

Many of the ingredients used have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which keep the core of you body strong and in turn, help protect against viruses. Foods like quinoa, kale and sprouts are also high in fiber and thus, promote a healthy digestion and lower cholesterol. A diet high in fiber is also great for weight loss since it keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

This is a big bowl of nutrients and vitamins served in the form of a tasty and colorful kale and quinoa salad. Come to mama!
