Whatever your reason, choosing to eat this salad is a delicious experience in healthy, raw foods.
Somehow, by chopping all the vegetables into little pieces and mixing them with parsley, lemon juice, sunflower seeds and raisins (but use any unsweetened dried fruit you like), greatly improves their flavor.
I am not a huge raw cauliflower and broccoli fan...but I can eat this salad with a huge smile on my face.
Full disclosure: the Sweet Pea boys weren't huge fans, but I will keep on trying!
Detox Raw Vegetable Salad
2 broccoli crowns (about 4 cups), roughly chopped

2 cups raisins
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (can omit)
juice of 1 large lemon

Using your food processor, process the broccoli until it looks like this:
Empty into a large bowl and repeat with the cauliflower, carrot, kale and parsley, adding each to the large bowl:
Stir well and add the sunflower seeds, raisins, oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper:
Serve as a side dish or as a very healthy snack. Did you know all the good things these ingredients do for your body?? Revel in your good health choice!

Life is sweet,

Hi ~ just wondering how long this keeps, as I'm sure I'll be the only one in the house eating it! Looks great; can't wait to try it. Thanks for another great recipe.
I kept it in the fridge for about 5 days. Then I froze the rest--and it worked pretty well!
