In the plant world, purple is the calling card for phytochemicals called anthocyanins, powerful compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They are found in a variety of different fruits, including blueberries and blackberries, and also in purple vegetables like beets, radishes, and carrots. This stunningly beautiful salad offers a variety of crunchy raw purple veggies to power your day and fill you up with nutrient-dense produce.

This recipe is from Sharon Palmer’s new cookbook, The Plant-Powered Plan to Beat Diabetes, out May 23, 2023. Learn more here.

I would leave it raw, since thy is what the title is. I like raw white cauliflower. I bet purple is yummy too.
