This Detox Salad with Lemon Ginger Dressing is cleansing, refreshing, and the perfect salad to support healthy detoxification.
When you hear the word “detox”, what comes to mind? Do you immediately think of a very restrictive and rigid diet? If you do, you’re not alone because that’s exactly what I used to think. My eyes were opened to a whole different approach when I read Kimberly Snyder’s Beauty Detox Solution book. Kimberly discusses the importance of regular detox and cleansing in order to keep our digestive systems on track long-term. Detoxing should be thought of a continuous process to remove toxins from the body.
If you incorporate antioxidant-rich, fibrous foods in your diet, you will detoxify the body by cleansing it from the inside out. Simple as that!
This Detox Salad is a tasty way to cleanse your body. I love making a large batch of this yummy Lemon Ginger dressing and keeping it on hand for an easy lunch during the week.
