Inner Goddess Detox Salad from Iowa Girl Eats
After cleaning out the rest of the fridge with all the holiday goodies, I’m back at the grocery store restocking. I especially seem to crave veggies and salad after the gluttonous holiday season, it’s like my body is begging for a detox!
I have to say salads are one of my least exciting things to tackle in the kitchen. Maybe it was that summer I spent as a cook at an army cadet camp where I made vats of bland, house salad with iceberg lettuce that put me off. But wanting to tackle some clean eating recently I found myself looking up and trying some of these drool worthy salad recipes. I love the color and fruit/veggie combo in the Inner Goddess Detox salad above, it reminds me a bit of another one I like to make, the sunshine salad. To keep things interesting I also like to add new elements to the classic side salad, whether it’s serving warm with grilled veggies or adding some meatless protein.

Meatless Monday? Try and add some chickpeas for protein.

I love the colors in this salad and the fruit makes it feel like a slice of tropical getaway on a winter night and think it’s cute how she’s cute up the carrots into little hearts 🙂
