Have you been over indulging lately? This Detox Cleansing Veggie Salad is the perfect answer to get rid of the bloat! It is loaded with the most amazing combo of veggies, herbs, nut and seeds that will leave you feeling great. This salad not only have amazing crunch and flavor, it is super satisfying, too.
You can serve this as a simple plant based meal, or add your favorite animal protein such as salmon or grilled chicken. I usually make a big batch of this in the beginning of the week, and make the dressing in a glass jar, but leave it on the side. If the salad has not been dressed, you can store it in the refrigerator in an air tight container and pull it out during the week for lunch or dinner. All you have to do when you are ready to serve it is add some dressing. I hope this one makes your weekly rotation!
