Recipe: Liver Loving Super Salad

Image: Sven Scheuermeier In honour of Liver Health Month, and because spring is most definitely in the air in Victoria, I created a salad that's packed with all kinds of veggies, spices and herbs that are good for your liver.

Eat this for lunch a few times a week, or share it as a starter at dinner.
