When it comes to liver health, many of us have heard about the benefits of garlic and lemon. But did you know there’s a traditional remedy that’s believed to be 150 times more powerful for cleansing the liver? Inspired by my grandmother’s wisdom, I’m excited to share this simple yet effective recipe that supports liver detoxification and promotes overall well-being.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dandelion greens (fresh or dried)
- 1 medium beetroot (peeled and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (as needed)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dandelion Greens:
If using fresh dandelion greens, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. If you have dried greens, simply measure out 1 cup. - Boil the Beetroot:
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped beetroot and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Once done, drain and let cool slightly. - Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the cooked beetroot, dandelion greens, turmeric powder, olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. - Season to Taste:
Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as desired. You can also adjust the acidity with more lemon juice or vinegar if preferred. - Serve:
Pour the mixture into a glass or bowl. Enjoy it as a refreshing drink or as a dressing over salads or cooked vegetables.
