The parsnips give a naturally sweet flavor that kids love.

Cherie Calbom, a nutritionist, and best-selling author of many health books and cookbooks including, The Coconut Diet, Juicing for Life, and Sleep Away the Pounds, says, "There are a number of nutrients and foods that have been shown to contribute to a healthy liver and thyroid." I am on a high dosage of synthroid, and also suffered liver failure last summer. I'm looking to improve not only my liver, my thyroid,and my health. My research shows that raw beets, celery, cucumber, and radishes are especially good for the liver and thyroid. Adding sunflower seeds or chopped brazil nuts adds to this delectible dish. Topping this salad dish with coconut oil (see Seasoned Coconut Oil Dip or Dressing) makes it a winner for a healthy body.
