This super easy, fresh salad will become a new favorite side dish! It's prepared with a mixture of veggies, fruit and healthy fats which makes it satisfying and filling when paired with your favorite protein. It's also anti-inflammatory, Whole30 compliant, low carb, and delicious in a lettuce wrap or by itself! Make a couple of batches ahead of time to enjoy for an entire week ahead!

Kenny made this for the first time this weekend when surprising me with a Chilean Sea Bass Dinner (one of my favorite fish meals!) It's an extremely tender and buttery fish that just melts in your mouth. Our favorite way to eat it, is grilled, just lightly seasoned with sea salt and pepper. It paired nicely with this fresh salad, which made the dish extremely flavorful. As a bonus, this particular salad happens to be an anti-inflammatory salad, win! Anything that aids in keeping inflammation down, I'm all about. I personally get easily inflamed when I eat the wrong foods such as sugar, dairy, soy, gluten and alcohol. The best thing that I did for myself, was to figure this out by experimenting with different foods. Now, I eat to feel good and rarely experience bloat and inflammation after meals. Actually, too many of us accept inflammation and bloat as 'normal'. How often do you hear someone say that they're dealing with headaches, exhaustion or weight gain? I personally hear it more than once on a daily basis. What most people do not realize is that these symptoms aren't normal. Our bodies were built to feel amazing but the majority of us accept feeling tired, bloated and foggy brained. If you're dealing with symptoms like this, I encourage you to contact me, because I can help get you started on the right path to living up to your true potential! Now let's get going on making this sweet and tangy salad! It would be great to pair with a variety of meals even if you're not following a Whole30 diet plan! It’s easy to make in bulk to pack in lunches, even makes for a great salsa to pair with chips. Just set aside some time to chop everything up, mix it all together and you have yourself a salad. Store in the refridgerateor to keep it fresh!
