Heavy meals can leave one feeling sluggish during hot weather, making a summer detox salad an ideal choice. This salad combines 1 cup each of chopped lettuce and spinach, a medium cucumber, tomato, grated carrot, and purple cabbage, topped with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds for added nutrition. The lemon dressing, made from 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of olive oil, brings a refreshing tang to the dish. The salad is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, supporting digestion and hydration. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the combination of these ingredients can enhance nutrient absorption and maintain energy levels. For optimal freshness, it's recommended to keep the salad in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving and to add the dressing just before consumption.
