Vegetarian Base Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups cabbage, thinly chopped/shredded Use red or green cabbage for variation
  • 2 cups lettuce, thinly chopped Butter or romaine lettuce works wonderfully
  • 2/3 cup broccoli, thinly chopped Fresh or frozen will do!
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrots Or 1 large carrot for convenience
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grated ginger Fresh ginger is best!
  • 1 tbsp tamari sauce Or coconut aminos, adjust to your taste
  • 1 tsp flax oil Optional—adds omega-3s
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar Or as needed for zing
  • 1 clove garlic, minced Fresh garlic enhances flavor
  • 1 scallion thinly chopped For that lovely fresh taste
  • 1/2 avocado thinly chopped Creamy goodness!

Protein Ingredients

  • 8 oz lean ground beef Or ground turkey for a lighter option
  • 1 tbsp tamari sauce Coconut aminos for the beef
  • 1 tsp turmeric The golden spice with anti-inflammatory benefits
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ginger, grated Trust me, you want all the ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Add more garlic if you're a fan!
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper Optional, for a spicy kick!
  • 1 tsp olive oil For an extra layer of flavor
  • 1-2 tbsp water To help cook the beef

Instructions
 

Cooking the Beef

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces, adding 1-2 tbsp of water if needed to keep it moist. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, and optional crushed red pepper. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.

Preparing the Vegetables

  • While the beef cools, chop your cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, and carrots into bite-sized pieces for ease of eating and even seasoning.

Assembling the Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the sautéed beef, chopped veggies, tamari sauce, flax oil, apple cider vinegar, and chopped scallion. Toss gently until evenly coated.
  • Top your bowl with diced avocado and sprinkle flaxseed on top. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep toppings like avocado separate to prevent browning.
