What are we making Monday? Today’s top choice is the Spicy Papaya Salad! I did a 10 day salad cleanse recently, and this salad was surprisingly amazing! I wasn’t sure what to think of it, when looking over the recipe, but it did not disappoint. Not only was it delicious, with a bit of spice, it is also super healthy! This salad is rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A, C, E, folic acid, and enzymes for improving digestion and reducing inflammation. It’s a heart healthy, immune boosting, powerhouse!! Yes, please! I’ll have seconds too! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
