I absolutely love this vibrant Gut Glow Salad, especially for its refreshing crunch and gut-nourishing ingredients! This salad features purple cabbage, which adds a pop of color and a wealth of nutrients. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare and is perfect as a side dish or a light meal.
Health Benefits:
- Fiber-Rich: Purple cabbage and carrots are high in dietary fiber, supporting healthy digestion and helping you feel full.
- Antioxidants: Red apples are packed with antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and protect your cells.
- Healthy Fats: Toasted almonds add a delightful crunch while providing healthy fats and protein, essential for overall health.
- Gut-Friendly: The fresh ingredients combined with my vinaigrette sauce promote a healthy gut environment.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups purple cabbage, grated
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 cup red apples, grated (with the skin for added nutrients)

Instructions:
