Cauliflower Power Salad
This Cauliflower Power Salad is the perfect side dish to your plant-powered picnics and BBQs. It’s packed with cruciferous vegetables, which may prevent DNA damage and the spreading of metastatic cancer, activate defenses against pathogens and pollutants, help to prevent lymphoma, boost our liver detox enzymes, target breast cancer stem cells, and reduce the risk of prostate cancer progression. The component responsible for these benefits is thought to be sulforaphane, which is formed almost exclusively in cruciferous vegetables.

Notes
This salad is best eaten right after it’s been prepared, but it will keep in the refrigerator for a day or two in a tightly sealed container.
