Asian Crunch Salad with Grilled Turkey Tenderloin
This salad is a delicious meal made with a number of superfoods. The almonds are high in protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E and other antioxidants and phytochemicals. They are also an excellent source of healthy fats. The turkey is an excellent source of lean protein and the cabbage is a great source of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. Cabbage also instructs our genes to increase production of the enzyme that detoxifies the body—this could help accelerate the removal of dietary AGEs.
