A cozy & seasonal warm salad recipe for you! Eating too many cold foods, such as raw salad greens, during colder months can dampen the digestive system and lead to bloating and poor energy. Opting for more seasonal cooked foods is a great way to support your system during the fall and winter seasons, according to Traditional Chinese medicine.
What’s more, this recipe is packed with known immune, hormone & digestive system-supporting foods to help you feel optimal.
Health Benefits of Cabbage Salad:
Cabbage contains gluconisolates, which are sulfur compounds that help to support digestion & elimination of harmful hormone-disruptive toxins
Garlic & onions, which are part of the Allium family, can inhibit inflammatory response & provide anti-viral support. Plus, their prebiotic content supports healthy gut microflora, which is where we house about 70-80% of our immune system
The Balance 4 Mushroom Blend (Lion's mane, Maitake, Reishi, Shiitake) supports the immune system by activating T cells, helps reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, provides stress relief, & enhances sleep quality

Recipe notes:
You can substitute summer squash for Pattypan squash. One 396ml can of chickpeas is equal to 1.5 cups of chickpeas. Look for a BPA-free can, such as Eden Foods.
