This bowl is full of detoxifying goodness. Carrot and beetroot are loaded with antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body – and help stimulate the liver, your main cleansing organ. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory superfood and, combined with the healthy fats from tahini and olive oil, makes for a delicious and incredibly nutritious dressing.
