Great Greens Detox Salad

Greens on greens on greens!

Sometimes even dietitians can indulge too much during a weekend or vacation, after all, we are people too!  When that happens to me, this great greens detox salad is my go-to meal when I need to reboot.  It is satisfying and flavorful and leaves me focused and energized.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of mixed lettuce (mescaline, romaine, arugula, baby spinach, Boston, bibb–pick your favorites!)
