This salad is packed with beneficial brassicas. Kale and cabbage are rich in glucosinolates, sulphur-based compounds with antioxidant and detoxifying properties that support liver function. Avocado is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium and vitamin E, which support cardiovascular health and promote radiant, glowing skin.
