LUNCH
Mango Cucumber Salad
I don’t like most salads. I consume most of my leafy greens in smoothies. My motto for myself is to “eat a little better each day.” My spirit animal is Tommy the Turtle. I wanted to grow up and find a salad I really enjoyed that is cleanse friendly. It’s basically a big bowl of mango salsa: tomatoes, mango, thinly sliced cucumber, red peppers, red onion, cilantro, thinly cut spinach and some sweet potatoes. (I highly suggest you purchase a mandolin... they are magic. Just don't slice your finger cause they are also extremely dangerous!)
The dressing is just lime juice, maple syrup, fresh garlic (minced) and garlic powder. I added a few sprinkles of chili flakes if you wanna add a little spice. (I also like to add grated red onion sometimes as well)
I Mandolined Everything in the Fridge Salad
This salad was good... like really good! That’s the thing with salads you can’t really tell by a picture cause it’s all about the dressing. Crap dressing then crap salad.
One of my favorite dressings so far: fresh OJ, maple syrup, fresh minced garlic, lime juice, red pepper flakes. Ginger might be a good addition. This salad contained: red bell pepper, mango, cilantro, red onion, fennel, spinach and leafy greens.
Also note... in the Original Cleanse AW explains that the Liver Rescue Salad contains 8 cups of leafy greens... 8 cups 4 at the minimum! This salad contains 2. I was planning to follow it up with a banana spinach smoothie to get in my other 2 cups of leafy greens. (I highly suggest you purchase a mandolin... they are magic. Just don't slice your finger cause they are also extremely dangerous!)
Mandolin fennel, red onion and cut up mango (you can use frozen mango just let them thaw a bit. Steamed potatoes. Lettuce with dressing. (This salad had pine nuts, just leave them out during a cleanse) The dressing is just lime juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, minced fresh garlic. I added a few sprinkles of chili flakes if you wanna add a little spice. You can't make this salad without a mandolin. Just be careful.. they are a bit dangerous if you're not paying attention.
