Beetroot Detox Salad with Sun Butter

Using only a few ingredients this salad is yummo! The beet factor cleanses the kidney's and builds the blood. The kale provides a huge hit of minerals and iron and the cabbage helps to eliminate the nasties in the gut. Not to mention the delicious sun butter dressing that I am addicted to that adds a little protein and flavour. A great raw detox salad option.
