Pomegranate Cabbage Salad

Pomegranate Cabbage Salad is a great mixture of cruciferous vegetables (which include, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale and cabbage). Cabbage is super versatile, always in season and inexpensive. For some recipes I will buy the actual head of cauliflower but when I am in a time crunch I go for the pre-chopped coleslaw mix (without the dressing of course).

Did you know eating a diet high in cruciferous vegetables can help lower estrogen which in turn can burn fat on your bum and thighs? I mean, I wish I made this stuff up, but its scientifically proven.

Here is a recipe for a quick and hearty lunch that will keep you full until dinner. And as always, don’t forget to add protein!
