For those of you looking to get on track with a healthy diet, healthy recipes, and fit lifestyle this year (I’m with you girlfriend!), you will find the following detox salad recipe – consisting solely of plants – very useful. As you know, I eat a plant-based diet consisting of whole foods, lots of plants (duh!), starches, and grains, and a diet that’s completely free of meat, fish, eggs, poultry, dairy, oils, and processed foods. You could say that I’m vegetarian and vegan, but I’m also gluten-free and eat very little to no oils and nuts. Try our delicious Vegan Tacos! Cray cray, I know, but as you learn more about this whole foods, plant based diet, you will most likely make the changes to your diet that I did too!
Below, I’ve created a healthy, nourishing, organic salad with a homemade cilantro dressing. This salad is so quick and easy to throw together and I promise it’s more flavorful than you could ever imagine — even the men will love it! Since there’s no oil, your calorie intake is minimal, yet the creaminess of the dressing is very satisfying. The fresh garlic and cilantro in the dressing will aid in powerful detoxification of your liver, so make this as part of your healthy recipes routine and enjoy often.
