You can customize each salad with any of the liver-healing foods from the previous chapter so that you never get bored. If you try the fat-free Orange “Vinaigrette” Dressing, it is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. It’s flavorful, sweet, and satisfying for anyone to enjoy.

Place the salad vegetables and the leafy greens of your choice in a bowl and mix together to form the base of the salad.
