Let’s be honest, most salads, loaded with fiber-rich and filling vegetables, are super. But this one features a bunch of truly standout ingredients that boast immune-boosting nutrients and help you to reset and reboot (and even debloat), including kale, carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds and extra virgin olive oil. Look at that…I named basically every ingredient. It’s a bowl full of goodness.

Bonus: This recipe makes a great big batch so you can stash it in the fridge for a few days and build your individual salads as you’re ready to feast.
