Dash Diet Cobb Salad
This Dash Diet Cobb salad brings together two potent cancer-fighting foods in one bowl: kale and mushrooms. Kale, which belongs to the cruciferous family of vegetables, contains anticancer compounds.
And while mushrooms may be tiny, their cancer-fighting capabilities are mighty. The bioactive compounds and phytochemicals in these delicious fungi have been shown to stop cancer growth and spreading.
