I love the flavors of Thai food, and this Thai Shrimp Salad makes eating healthy at home simple and delicious!
The salad itself has a variety of greens, veggies, and herbs, which means there are plenty of antioxidants and nutrients to help reduce inflammation and boost the immune system.
In the dressing, garlic and ginger both help to fight bacteria and parasites, while also supporting detox pathways in the body.
This salad is great for lunch or dinner, and is sure to be a family favorite!
