Helllllloooooooooo! That is my all time favorite line from Seinfeld. Actually, the guy likes it way more than I do. In fact, he was at a stop light one day with his windows rolled down when he saw a text from me and yelled out loud "helllllloooooooooo."

Apparently, a guy in the car next to him gave him a weird look. He said to me "I don't think he knew that was Seinfeld." OMG. I swear this one is quirkier than me, but he sure makes me LOL a lot. 🙂

This has nothing to do with a Rainbow Detox Salad other than helllllloooooooooo spring and helllllloooooooooo bring on all the fresh, warm weather veggies!

Now that it's been in the 90's for a month here, I'm craving lighter, nutrient-dense foods packed with vitamins with a crispy, watery crunch. This restaurant style Rainbow Detox Salad does that and so much more!

One of my biggest pet peeves about restaurants is how horribly unhealthy the salads are. In fact, it's the #1 thing I tell my clients to avoid.

They lack real vegetables and lean protein, have way too much cheese, nuts, etc. and are usually sopping wet in dressing.

I tell them they'd be better off eating a burger and getting a naked side salad or steamed veggies on the side.

So yes, avoid the salads at restaurants like the plague! That is, unless you're willing to completely re-arrange the menu which I totally do because I'm not going to pay for something gross.

That's exactly why I leaving salad making for home! Restaurant-style as in, this is what restaurants should be serving!

A salad overflowing with fresh greens and a rainbow of vegetables with a light citrus flavored dressing on the side.

This Rainbow Detox Salad does just that, and more! All the ingredients in this salad are secretly feeding the liver to support it in its natural detox process.

Perfect for spring time eating and getting more vitamins and minerals in the body to boost the immune system. Much needed after a long winter!

This salad couldn't be easier to make at home either. I used store bought organic mixed lettuce then used this veggie chopper to make cutting the veggies a breeze.

It took a whopping 5 minutes for everything to come together.

The salad's perfect served as a light, vegetarian meal or dinner side. Pair it with a lean protein for a complete meal.

I also love the idea of tossing this in a mason jar for lunch on the go. Put the dressing on the bottom, layer the salad and veggies above it and shake, shake, shake when you're ready to eat. So good!
