Delish Detoxifier: Parsley Salad

​Parsley is great for liver support, being high in Vitamin C as well as flavonoids. This little garnish is a great tool to combat free radical damage and linked to combating the effects of cigarette smoke and charcoal grill smoke on cell damage.  This happens through the volatile oils found in fresh parsley that give it its unique aroma. Parsley also appears to inhibit tumor growth

There are two varieties - flat leaf Italian Parsley and the curly parsley we all know as 'garnish'. The flat leaf variety is less bitter and more fragrant. If you cannot find flat leaf, curly parsley will also work here. 

I discovered this tasty salad on Vibrant Nutrition. This salad goes well with grilled meats (neutralize that grill smoke!), chicken, pork, clams, and fish as well as Moroccan and Middle Eastern cuisine, when it is often served as a accompaniment to meals for it's cooling effect on hot days. 

Parsley Salad
(serves 4 as a main salad, or 6 as a small accompaniment)

•     2 bunch flat leaf parsley, leaves removed from stems
•     1 red onion, very finely chopped and rinsed in water to mellow flavor
•     Juice of 1 lemon
•     1 small diced tomato 
•     Olive oil, Maldon Salt, to taste

Combine all ingredients and serve! 

Easy peasy!!
