Carrot Cabbage Detox Slaw

Light, flavorful, and full of color, this slaw makes it easy to nourish detox pathways, calm inflammation, and restore balance from within. Cabbage belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family and contains glucosinolates that convert to sulforaphane, a powerful compound shown to activate the body’s detoxification enzymes and strengthen cellular resilience. Carrots provide carotenoids that protect against oxidative stress, while parsley contributes apigenin—a calming flavonoid that supports liver detoxification, soothes inflammation, and nourishes the nervous system. Garlic adds sulfur compounds that further enhance detox pathways and balance gut microbes, while fresh lemon juice and zest awaken digestion and stimulate bile flow. Enjoy this crisp, colorful salad alongside roasted fish, chicken, or lentils, or savor it on its own as a daily dose of detox nourishment.
