detox-salad

Maybe you’re over having chicken with a side of rice and veggies every night or maybe you’re over eating out every night and want to be healthier, whatever the reason may be, it’s always a great idea to incorporate a little salad into your life. And when we say “salad” we don’t mean a few leafs of spinach with some oil-based dressing on the side. We mean lots of colorful veggies, lots of protein-packed nutrition like nuts and meat, and homemade flavorful dressings. Check out these luscious and delicious salads below that make perfect dinners for when you want something a little different and a little healthier!
