We’ve expressed our love of Pinterest time and time again. While it’s the perfect place to get my fix for a daily dinner recipe, I haven’t actually been home long enough to dig through the endless stacks I keep collecting. I swear there aren’t enough days in the year to get through our recipe collection. I bought all the ingredients for this salad last week because after eating out so much I knew my body needed a slight cleanse (with a glass of white wine on the side of course). It’s quick, light and easy to throw together post a nine mile, heat blazing Portland waterfront run. I put my own spin on it and threw in a few ingredients to heat things up (jalapeno anyone??)
Cleansing Salad
Ingredients:
- Hand full of washed spinach
- Diced cucumber (depending on size 1/3 to 1/2 a cucumber– I do 1/2 because I like the added crunch)
- 12 cherry tomatoes diced in half
- 1/2 a jalapeno sliced and diced
- 1/4 cup black beans
- 1/3 and avocado
- 2 tbsp diced onion
- Cilantro to taste (chopped)
- Pepper to taste
Dressing:
- 1/2 a squeezed lime
- 1/2 tbsp of oil ( I go lighter than that but that’s just me, I like the citrus to take over more)
Mixed w/ “dressing”
What’s your go-to when you know your body needs a very light and cleansing meal? While this was a welcomed addition, I’m open to suggestions!
