This simple anti-inflammatory detox salad is delicious served with any type of fish, meat or legume main dish. The beautiful purple hues in red cabbage indicate that it is high in polyphenols. These plant pigments act as antioxidants in the body, reducing free radical damage and inflammation. Red cabbage is also very high in glucosinolates—a compound found in cruciferous vegetables that ramps up the body's own detoxification enzymes!
