Spring is a great time to start eating salads again. The weather is warmer so we don’t feel the same need to warm comfort foods. To make a nice spring salad try adding some of the natural detoxifiers mentioned below.
leafy greensincluding kale, bok choy, spinach, arugula and dandelion greens
fresh herbsincluding parsley, basil, cilantro, rosemary and oregano
garlicor ginger root
onions, leeks and chives
berriessuch as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries
Instructions
Chop all vegetables small.
Combine all dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake well.
Mix dressing with the chopped vegetables.
This salad increases in flavor as it sits.
Notes
Be creative and know that you are doing a good thing for your body. Above, you will find ingredients for a simple salad dressing from Joyous Health. A natural salad dressing like the one we use on this detox salad will keep well in a cool place for a week or more. Note if you keep it in the fridge (not necessary unless your house is very warm) the oil may harden a little, but will liquefy again at room temp.
