Curry, coconut, porto bello mushroom, red cabbage and jicama salad

Not only is cilantro delicious but it also removes heavy metals from the body and you know what's funny? I always thought it smelled like soap ....well, I guess it is some kind of soap in a way, only for the insides!! I invite you to detox yourself with this yummy salad!

Salad
1 big Porto bello mushroom, julienned
1 cup of jicama, julienned
1/2 red pepper, julienned
1 cup of red cabbage, julienned
1 hand full of whole cilantro leaves, stems removed

Dressing
1 tbsp of curry powder
1/4 tsp red crushed chile pepper
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 tbsp of extra virgin, organic coconut oil, melted on very low heat not to destroy the properties and cooled not to cook the other ingredients
1 tbsp of lime juice (or to taste)
1 tbsp of organic agave syrup (or to taste)
Celtic salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions
Mix all the salad ingredients in a bowl. In a second bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients and adjust according to your likings. Marinate a little (like 5-10 minutes) and serve.
