Who wants to lighten up—gently, and in a way your gut will actually thank you for? I’ve been making this salad for years and keep coming back to it. It’s simple, vibrant, and deeply supportive for digestion. When I guide clients through detoxes or anti-inflammatory gut-healing protocols, this salad is almost always part of the program because it helps kick-start digestion and reduce bloat while delivering powerful nutrients.
Eating this salad raw provides beautiful enzymes that support digestion, but if your gut prefers warmth, you can absolutely sauté the entire salad. Many people with IBS or sensitive digestion do better with cooked veggies—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Make it a few times a week, pair it with a lean protein or pumpkin seeds, or simply enjoy it on its own. Tune in and honor what feels best in your body.
