Eating this salad is like taking a cool shower on a hot day: cleansing, refreshing and totally revitalizing.
It’s 90 degrees as we type and all we can think about is diving into some crisp lettuce crunchy sprouts, creamy avocado and tart grapefruit. So we wanted to share one of our summer staples: The Slim Down Detox Salad.
It’s the perfect salad on a steamy day, whenever you need to banish the belly bloat and great for getting back on track after a cray-cray weekend.
This salad is delicious and detoxifying and it’s just one of the many amazing recipes you’ll find in our new cookbook {Healthy} Cooking Camp: {Healthy} Cooking Basics. Click the link to get more info on that!

Servings: 2

Dressing
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil

Directions
Supreme your grapefruit – remove peel and cut out grapefruit segments. Save membrane and peels to squeeze juice for dressing.
Begin building your salad by layering spinach, dandelion greens and sprouts. Add grapefruit segments, radishes, parsley and avocado slices.
Drizzle salad dressing over salad and finish by sprinkling pumpkin seeds.
To make salad dressing
Squeeze the remaining grapefruit juice from membrane and peels into a bowl.
