Looking for the reset after an indulgent weekend? This vibrant chopped salad is our go-to Sunday meal prep when we need to get back on track. It’s fresh and crunchy, great with a creamy avocado-lime dressing or a simple balsamic — or whatever sauce you want to throw on it. What we love most is how it fills you up without making you feel heavy. This salad is the good kind of addicting.

  Heyhey! I feel like “we’re making detox salad regularly” is a good barometer for how well you’re doing. The kids have been in and out of summer camps, so things have been chaotic around here. I think a big batch of detox salad would help us get to a better track. Thanks for the reminder and motivation. 🙏🏼

I’m in Mexico and haven’t found kale yet – it must be here but till I find it can I use baby spinach instead?

  Yes, absolutely. It might not last as long since spinach can get wilted more quickly and potentially spoil the rest of the ingredients before they’d go bad next to kale. But still probably worth it — modified detox salad is better than none. (If this doesn’t work well, might be better to just omit greens.)

Due to digestive issues I can’t have cabbage or cauliflower. Any ideas for alternatives? I love a chopped salad!

  This method works with really any veggie (could see zucchini, broccoli, brussel sprouts all working well).
