 Spicy Tofu Salad with Sriracha Dressing
The dressing in this recipe is really creamy and spicy - a bit like a hot, spicy mayonnaise and so works really well with the tofu. The salad can be made with any of your favourite veggies.

Asian Cabbage Salad with Roasted Cashews

 Asian Cabbage Salad
This has the same vegetables as the recipe for coleslaw but without the mayonnaise. Instead it has a hot and spicy dressing which makes this salad light and refreshing. Cabbage contains powerful anti-cancer compounds known as glucosinates. Studies demonstrate more anti-cancer activity with the cabbage family than any other vegetable and therefore this is a good reason to include them as often as possible in your diet.

 Indian Chickpea Buddha Bowl
Chickpeas in a curried sauce with brown rice, sauteed garlic spinach and broccoli. This is an easy, highly nutritious main course packed with protein and fibre. Buddha bowls are very fluid and you can add your favorite veggies and grains. Here I've added some broccoli which aids in detoxification and goes well with the curry. The cabbage gives it some freshness and crunch.
