By: Lindsey Bomgren, CPT | June 16, 2016

This ginger cabbage salad is tossed with naturally detoxifying foods like ginger, green apples, and red cabbage, and infused with a lemon tahini dressing to give you that crunchy and slightly sweet, light, summertime salad you crave!

Yes, I have a current love affair with cabbage. There are so many reasons to love cabbage; including last week’s recipe, grilled cabbage steaks + spicy cilantro lime dressing, which was featured on The Jason Show {so you know it’s good}!

Purple cabbage is one of those superfoods that’s vibrant in color and rich in nutrients. I brushed up on my superfood game the past couple months as I worked side-by-side with my favorite foodie, dietitian, blogging partner in crime, and good friend, Stacie Hassing, Co-Founder of The Real Food Dietitians.

A couple months ago Stacie and I had an awesome idea {which we always do}! We thought, what if we combine Stacie’s dietitian superpowers and beautiful food photography skills with my ability to taste-test 20+ recipes? Ok, and my ability to sculpt a booty with barre and pilates based workouts. Genius!

And that’s how the Nourished 7-Day Refresh was born. A 7-day, detoxifying meal plan paired with daily barre and pilates based workouts to help you refresh, and find that lighter, more vibrant you!

Yes, forget everything you know about detoxes and cleanses…the 7-Day Refresh will help you get that “dang, i feel good” feeling without leaving you hungry or trading sweat for minimal calories.

So if you’re feeling like you could use a little energy, glowing skin, and a gentle refresh, download your 7-day refresh ebook today!

But we don’t just want you to take our word for it. We want you to taste-test a couple of the recipes yourself. Starting with this crunchy and slightly sweet, ginger cabbage salad tossed with lemon tahini dressing.

Then jump over to Stacie’s blog for the 7-Day Refresh, Cauliflower Garlic Hummus Recipe, it’s great for dipping all types of veggies {or topping salad too}!

Basically, this ginger cabbage detox salad is all of the good stuff tossed together in a vibrant explosion of flavor and texture.
