Vegetables
Beetroot, Quinoa & Kale Soup with Garlic
I love steaming beetroot and eating it cold with a goats cheese salad, or adding it to stews, but generally, what do I do when I have “too many” vegetables? Make soup of course!
Detoxifying Blueberry Salsa
There is a whole world of detoxifying goodness in this salsa, from the phytochemicals; anthocyanins in the berries, limonene in the limes and quercetin in the red onion, to the coriander leaf which is an effective chelator
