During my decade of chronic illness, I focused on detoxing my liver and used many different veggies that helped support my liver function to remove toxins on a daily basis.

When you’re trying to detox, organic salads filled with fresh, whole ingredients are a great option.

Arugula is one of the best veggies to support your liver and I often toss it into my breakfasts, lunches and dinners since it’s incredibly versatile.

  • Pinch chili powder, optional
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
