Mexican-Inspired Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

May 8, 2020
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I know everyone loves looking at a beautiful baked good but if you are following my brand then perhaps you are here for the salad? Life is all about balance, right?

This Mexican-inspired salad was actually supposed to be posted on Cinco de Mayo, but life and my real job blew up on Tuesday, so instead we had our little family fiesta on Wednesday.

If you love Mexican flavors then you will love this tasty and easy-to-make salad. The Mexican Goddess dressing is thrown together in a blender and the salad comes together really quickly (you may already have most of the ingredients in your house).

Many of you also told me you need quick lunch ideas. You can double the salad and easily have leftovers for one or two lunches (mix the beans, tomatoes, scallions and corn, and when you are ready to eat add the lettuce, avocado and cilantro otherwise you’ll have a soggy salad which is not appetizing).

The dressing makes about 1 1/2 cups but I promise you’ll use it! Try this salad with your next taco Tuesday!

Maybe go crazy and throw in a few tortilla chips (my favorite are @sietefoods lime grain-free tortilla chips). Enjoy!

The only shots I take these days are these lemon-ginger-turmeric olive oil shots. If you are feeling a little puffy, inflamed, or are starting to get the sniffles make a batch of these shots. I take one every morning on an empty stomach. Another great benefit – the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver supportive ingredients make your skin glow! Makes 4 servings: 2 lemons, peel removed 2 navel oranges, peel removed 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil 1/3 cup sliced ginger root, peeled 1 inches of turmeric root, peeled Dash of fresh pepper ½ cup filtered water Optional: 1 tsp honey Blend in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Note, I recommend peeling so you don’t have to strain the mixture from the peel. If you are using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix you likely won’t need to strain. If your blender leaves the mixture with texture/mealy, then strain with a strainer or cheesecloth. #perimenopause #antiinflammatory #womenover40 #guthealth #fitmom

Inflammation - the kind that leads to accelerated aging, skin issues, chronic disease and even hormonal issues- begins in the gut. Your gut is closely connected to your immune system — in fact, most immune activity happens there. One of the gut’s main jobs is to act as a protective barrier, letting nutrients in while keeping harmful substances out. When that barrier is weakened by things like chronic stress, highly processed foods, alcohol, illness, or certain medications, unwanted particles from the gut can leak into the bloodstream. When this happens, the immune system switches on, leading to inflammation throughout the body. An unhealthy balance of gut bacteria can make this worse. When beneficial microbes are reduced, the gut produces fewer compounds that help calm inflammation and support immune balance. Supporting gut health isn’t just about digestion — it plays a key role in managing inflammation across the entire body. Save this list to stock you are home full of anti-inflammatory foods. #antiinflammatory #guthealth #perimenopause #womenover40 #fitmom
