This salad is surprisingly filling, well, not really when you think about it, as its so full of fibre. The importance of fibre in human nutrition was first demonstrated by Denis Parsons Burkitt, soon after World War II. Its a fascinating story, which you can learn about here:

Another early pioneer of human nutrition who advocated eating high-fibre foods is Nathan Pritikin, particularly for the purpose of reversing cadiovascular disease (CVD):

I frequently eat raw food, not just Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB). Eating raw food maximises your intake of antioxidants, vitamins and enzymes, where are destroyed by heat. Think of WAVE FM - Water, Antioxidants, Vitamins, Enzymes, Fibre and Minerals. Minerals include not just trace elements but also potassium and sodium, and at the correct (low) levels for human nutrition. There is already sufficient sodium in whole foods for our nutritional needs, adding extra salt to our food may make it taste nicer but only leads to consuming sodium in excess, leading to health issues such as hypertension.

Note
A note about slow juicing and fibre. Slow juicing is my preferred form of juicing because it retains the soluble fibre in the juice, unlike centrifugal juicers. Hence, slow juices are generally thicker and more filling. The soluble fibre impedes the absorption of glucose by our gut, obviating sugar spikes, so dreaded by diabetics. When most doctors and food experts tell us to avoid juicing, they are not:
1) referring to slow juicing, but to juices by centrifugal juicers, which do not retain the soluble fibre.
2) referring to vegetable juicing, but to fruit juicing. For diabetics, it is recommended to juice vegetables, not fruits. If you need to add some fruit to your vegetable juice for flavour, keep it below 20%. I use lemon, pineapple, Granny Smith to flavour my vegetable juices.
