Delicious Superfood Salad
A superfood salad does NOT have to taste like soil, I repeat, no soil-y salads over here! — anybody out there relate to this?! I’m a huge fan of fresh greens — even the super hearty ones — but there are so many superfood salads out there (even some that we’ve had at restaurants eeeek!) that taste like straight up dirt in your mouth.
This superfood detox salad, on the other hand, is a delicious punch of flavor in your mouth with a super yummy homemade dressing and all the superfood greens (+ a few superfood fruits!) your body loves. And did we mention it’s super easy to whip up? Let’s get into it:
How to Make a Superfood Detox Salad
There are many great superfood fruits and veggies that pair well together for a salad, but for this superfood detox salad we’re using some of our favorite (and especially nutrient-dense) superfoods that combine together for the great detoxing qualities your body loves. Plus, it’s oh so easy to make:
Gather up all your veggies! You’ll need:
- 16 oz of a shredded brussels sprout slaw mix (we’ll get into this in a bit!)
- Red onion
Grab your fruits!
- Green apple
- Blueberries
- Raisins
Add in your healthy nuts, seeds, and grains!
- Slivered almonds
- Sunflower seeds
- Quinoa
Finish up with your healthy homemade dressing (we’ll get into this too below!) and mix it all together for the most scrumptious and healthy superfood detox salad you’ve ever had. #yahwelcome
Shredded Brussel Sprout Slaw
We love using bagged slaw mixes for salads like this (our fave is the Trader Joe’s Brussels Sprout Slaw Mix), but feel free to prepare your own slaw if you prefer. The mix we used contains brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli slaw and cabbage, but feel free to get creative with whatever veggies you have on hand or which ever brussels sprout slaw mix your grocery store has.
How to Make Detox Salad Dressing
Although this dressing looks like it packs a long list of ingredients, we’re betting you have most of them on hand in your own kitchen already. You’ll need:
- Grapeseed oil (or olive oil, if you prefer that!)
- Fresh grated ginger
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Fresh chopped basil
- Lemon juice
- Apple cider vinegar
- Honey
- Ground turmeric
- Salt and cayenne to taste (with a little more cayenne if you like a little kick!)
To prepare this detox salad dressing, simply place all your ingredients in a mason jar with a lid and shake until fully combined. If you don’t have a mason jar with a tight lid, feel free to mix this dressing up in a bowl with a whisk.
And speaking of homemade dressings, we’ve got a variety of great dressing recipes here on Fit Foodie Finds. Check out 42 of our faves!

Love this Super food Detox Salad, this one seems super delicious and amazing. Will love to try this unique recipe . Thanks for sharing this one with us .
Looks good
This salad is delicious! I’ve made it with broccoli in place of brussels and both variations were great. Super healthy and flavorful! I also used dried parsley and basil in place of the fresh and it was still good! I also recommend adding garbanzo beans if you want to add a little protein! Love it! Thank you!
LOVE all the goodies in this salad 🙂 Sounds amazing!
Wow..This is nice. I like how you share your idea about this detox snack. I love your photos. And the recipe seems to be effective enough if you want to cleanse the impurities in your body.
😀 Thanks for stopping by!
Seriously?! Kale is inedible raw, hard, bitter and totally unappetizing. Steamed or tossed in a pan with a bit of oil and soy sauce unitl it wilts a bit. The blueberries are a great idea however.
This salad was so good! I brought it to a family dinner and I think almost everyone had seconds. Thank you for the recipe!
I love raw kale salads! It is amazing. I love that i can put the dressing on the salad and eat it a few hours later and the kale is still super crunchy!
I agree I HATE cooked greens. No thanks to slimy wilted spinach!
Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see Kale in the recipe, except the description. Can someone please explain?
Thanks,
Tina
We used a shredded Brussels sprout slaw mix that had kale in it!
Oh, Lee- I think I’ll need a big bowl of this before and/or after Sunday’s super bowl food!! Thanks for the post!
That looks amazing!!!!
Thank you JOdy!!!

I would have NEVER thought to put these things together!
😀 😀 So nummy!

I like my greens raw and massaged in oil 🙂
Oh yes you do!
If you add a little sea salt to the kale and put it in a bowl, then massage it with your hands, it softens the kale right up to make it more edible and digestible for salads. Just a little secret I learned in nutrition school 🙂
Such a good tip. Totally doing this next time. 😀 😀
