Detox Salad
This Detox Salad is creamy, crunchy and refreshing. Also, the salad is a powerhouse of nutrients bursting with flavor and texture. I am in love with arugula and watercress for my greens. Because they are peppery and sweet, and balance each other nicely. This salad has fresh organic crunchy radishes, soft and creamy avocado, sweet and ripe golden tomatoes, fresh and crunchy cucumber. Then, all topped with perfectly hard boiled eggs.
Me and my husband are both trying to eat healthier, but we will not compromise on flavor. Due to this reason, the salad was a hit. For the dressing, I just used a little cold pressed organic olive oil and some fresh squeezed lemon juice. Lastly, I added some Himalayan pink sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
You can totally skip the eggs and keep the salad vegan. However, we loved the combination of the eggs with all these delicious, healthy and fresh veggies. Now this is the type of summer fresh detox salad that I would happily munch on all season long!
