This zesty grain salad is simple to prepare and full of detox-supportive nutrients. Raw kale contains glucosinolates, sulfur-rich compounds that help activate liver detoxification enzymes and support cellular renewal. Wild rice adds a hearty texture along with fiber, minerals, and antioxidants that promote steady energy and healthy digestion. The combination of raw kale and red pepper with cooked wild rice creates a vibrant balance of flavor and texture. I love using green curly kale with the ribs removed for this recipe. Serve with sliced Baked Chicken Breasts for a simple, deeply nourishing meal. This recipe lasts for several days in your refrigerator—perfect for a meal prep day to incorporate into lunches or dinners throughout the week.
