CHOPPED DETOX TACO SALAD EXPLOSION!

(Say that 5x really quickly!)

Toss out your Thousand Island dressing and Doritos, Baby, it's time for some REAL ingredients in this salad! There's a little sweet, there's a little tang and even though there's no meat--you won't miss a THANG!

This salad is full of color, flavors, and pure health. Yes--it's a crowd pleaser and yes--it takes a little elbow grease in the kitchen. But again what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. So get over it and go get on it because this is de-frickin'-licious.

The Components

3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup purple cabbage, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup raw broccoli florets, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped
1/2 cup red beets (canned is fine!), chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 ripe avocado
Handful of Late July Organic Sweet Potato Chips, crushed up

Dressing:
3 tbps extra virgin olive oil      1 tbps red wine vinegar 
3 tbps raw, liquid honey           1 tbps chia seeds
2 tbps whole grain mustard

How to Make it Happen:

In a large bowl, toss all of your veggies together but save the sweet potato chips for last so they stay crunchy.

For the dressing, just mix up all of the ingredients really well. For this, I use one of those hand-held latte frothers from Ikea. It just makes it mix up that much more. Also, you may want to add more or take away honey and mustard depending on your liking.

Toss the dressing on the veggies and mix, Baby, mix. C'mon, now Mix, Baby, Mix!
