Recipe: The Mimi Salad
I made this detox salad, along with some roasted vegetables, for dinner tonight!

When I went to Zupan’s Markets in Portland, I decided to get ingredients to make a healthy meal. I knew that I’d be eating out for the most-part – since I wanted to try places while traveling – but wanted to make sure that I had the option to eat healthy.
After a few days of heavy eating, I wasn’t very hungry this evening. I decided that it would be the perfect time for me to make the Detox Salad I shopped for earlier this week. To go along with it, I roasted some vegetables in the oven. I tossed the leftovers from each plate into a leftover container for a quick Buddha bowl tomorrow. If you want, you can easily throw in your choice of rice, beans, or toppings.
I used to be so adamant about doing everything myself, but now feel less guilty about buying preshredded carrots – and other like items – if it means that I’ll save a lot of time, headache, or cleanup. Time is of the essence at this point in my life, so I am more willing to make these small changes, pay a little more, and enjoy the convenience.
Here’s the recipe! If you try it, make sure you let me know by tagging @barrministries. I’d love to see your take on the Mimi Salad!
