Detox Celery Salad

My body was in need of this detox celery salad after a whole weekend of eating out. I love to discover new restaurants and try new foods but you usually eat much more in a restaurants  than you do at home. Does this happen to you too? Do you feel like you need a healthy salad after a weekend of overindulging?

Weekends are perfect to plan your healthy meals for the week and start the week with a  healthy salad. Today I’m sharing this celery salad because I wanted to tell you about this wonderful veggie. Celery is very low in calories, helps digestion and it is also a great source of antioxidant nutrients, including vitamin C and beta-carotene.

Salads are the best way to eat raw vegetables and absorb the maximum amount of nutrients from them. This Detox Celery Salad includes mixed leaves, carrot and onion; 4 simple ingredients and a lemon dressing that gives this salad a delicious citrus flavour. Salads can be simple and tasty at the same time. Give it a try!

You can adapt the recipe to whatever is in your fridge but remember to add the celery stalks to your salad, it will add a unique crunchiness. This salad is refreshing, delicious and best of all it’s healthy! Can we ask for anymore from a salad? Probably no, but I can show you more salads like this
