My Go-To Salad After Heavy Eating & Big Meals!

After heavy eating or big meals, I like making a big batch of this lentil detox salad. When I posted the ingredients to this salad on Instagram the feedback was incredible! So many of you made it and loved it. Now, I’ve documented it here so you can refer back to this recipe over and over again! If you haven’t tried it, it is a must! 

I call it a detox salad because it contains a very detoxifying herb called cilantro. There’s actually no lettuce in this salad – the cilantro makes up all the greens. Cilantro can help the body rid itself of heavy metals, reduce water weight, is a cancer fighter and can improve memory with its brain protecting vitamins and minerals. It’s an herb I like to incorporate in juices, in soups but especially salads like this one.

This is also a salad you can enjoy warm or make ahead of time and store in the fridge for a few days – just remember to chop the avocado later right before serving.

I forgot to take a finished photo of the salad, but you can see the final version below in a video!

Homemade Fruit Roll Ups!

I used to eat the heck out of Fruit Roll Ups when I was younger. They were a STAPLE in my lunch box and when I’d get home from school, I would eat a couple of them almost everyday. Pulling that fruit leather right off that plastic sheet – ooooohhhh, actually my mouth is just watering thinking of them. However, the problem with Fruit Roll Ups, Fruit By The Foot and other store-bought fruit snacks is that they are full of artificial ingredients, GMOs and other nasties I don’t want in my body. And that’s why I make these instead and they just happen to make a beautiful gift for any occasion too! They taste so much better than the packaged variety too, so fresh and delicious.
