The inspiration for this salad comes from a local restaurant that I went to on ladies night and a few things I learned from watching a YouTube video on "FitLife TV" on juicing and gut health.

The restaurant that we went to was having "greek night".  I ordered a greek salad with no feta cheese.  The salad came without lettuce, I thought it was kind of weird at first but it was nice having a plate full of veggies.  

And I learned from the video how the combination of...  

• cucumber
• celery
• cilantro
• lime
• ginger
• apple cider vinegar

..as part of a green juice recipe it can help with gut health.

So I combined these two ideas and created a salad with no lettuce that is close to a greek salad and incorporates good for your gut health ingredients. 

Make the dressing by combining;  the juice from the lime, fresh ginger and the salsa spice blend.

Prep all of the veggies. Try to use organic veggies if you can.

Pour on the dressing.

Oh yum cilantro I just love it but I know its a sort of love hate thing.  If you don't like cilantro you could try replacing it with fresh parsley.

You can eat it right away or let it sit in the fridge before serving.  Enjoy!
