This fresh and flavorful salad comes together in just minutes, making it an easy option for lunch or a light dinner. Arugula and cabbage, members of the cruciferous vegetable family, contain naturally occurring compounds that support the body's detoxification pathways, while shrimp supplies high-quality protein and betaine, a nutrient that helps support healthy methylation. Creamy avocado adds fiber and nourishing monounsaturated fats to keep you satisfied, and the Thai-inspired dressing brings everything together with bright, zesty flavor.
