Adding avocado provides satiation and protects the liver,  and parsley, loaded with chlorophyll and antioxidants, offers a high flavonoid content that help fight cancer.  Finally, adding a small handful of raisins provides a touch of sweetness while boosting fiber, antioxidants, and iron.

But the true star of this recipe is the delicious dressing! Ginger, raw honey, and lemon combine to reduce inflammation, protect the brain, and prevent kidney stones.
