Asian Chicken Salad
This is one of my favorite salads at restaurants but the dressing is usually full of unhealthier oils like canola oil and sodium. Instead, I threw together a healthier option made with coconut aminos, or basically the sap from a coconut tree, that is an alternative to traditional soy sauce. I mixed this with olive oil, a little apple cider vinegar (which is also great for the gut as it helps disrupt biofilms or digestive plaque), lime, and sea salt. This makes for a perfect light and refreshing Asian Chicken Salad!
