 Hey y'all welcome to What Chelsea Eats. Thank you so much for joining me today. In this video I'm going to be sharing with you a healing salad recipe. This recipe is not only good for helping you to heal from wound issues but it also will help support your gut and help heal issues that you may be having in your gut whether you know it or not. Most people who have fibroids or some type of reproductive issue their gut is a mess and this salad recipe will help you to overcome it. So if you want to see how I make it stay tuned. So let's get right into this recipe. I'm going to start off with a half a head of red leaf lettuce. Red leaf lettuce is my absolute favorite lettuce. It is tender and that's why I like it so much. But you can use whatever type of lettuce that you would like whatever you can find on hand. This just happens to be my favorite. Next is one of my most favorite cruciferous vegetables which is good for estrogen metabolism and healing the gut. This is red cabbage but you can use any kind of cabbage you like. It just happens to be that red cabbage is my favorite and it adds so much color to the salad. That's another reason that I like it but it helps to sweep the junk out of your digestive tract and change your gut microbiome and that just means it changes the condition of your gut as far as the things that it likes to digest. So if you're eating a processed food diet it's going to be used to digesting processed foods and if you eat these types of foods it's going to get used to eating or digesting these types of foods. So I added some broccoli. You can add broccoli or cauliflower or whatever kind of vegetable that you would like. Broccoli, cauliflower, things like that are cruciferous vegetables as well. Next we're going to add our cucumbers. I love cucumbers. They're like my favorite vegetable in the salad but there are varieties of cucumbers. This is an English cucumber so use whichever type of cucumber you would like. So next we're going to add some red onions and I love to add red onions to the salad because they fight inflammation. They boost the immune system. They're healthy for your heart. They help with digestion. They fight cancer. They help enhance your hair growth but nonetheless they taste really really good in the salad. It brings the flavors together. So next we're going to add some carrots and one of the things about carrots that people don't know is that the vitamin A in the carrots helps to build red blood cells. So if you're somebody who bleeds heavily and you're having struggles with anemia or low iron, carrots are a good source of vitamin A that will help you to build those red blood cells so you can keep up with your iron stores. So next we have some orange peppers that we're going to add to the salad and the thing that I like about peppers is that they are full of vitamin C so if there are any iron-rich things in your salad that's going to help your body to absorb the iron in your salad when you add things with vitamin C. So sprouts take your salad up a notch. This is a living food. There's sprawl food and then there's living food and sprouts are living foods so that's just going to give you more micronutrients that you need for healing your body and I can talk about sprouts all day long but I won't and then we're going to add some cherry tomatoes. These are what I prefer in my salad versus regular tomatoes but you can add whatever kind of tomatoes you like and this is another living food. This is a fermented vegetable. This is ginger and carrots and I got this from this company called Wild Fermented Vegetables. It's a I think it's local here to North Carolina but I'm not sure but if you can find things like sour crowd fermented vegetables to put in your salad that's also going to be a healing benefit for your digestive tract. So here is your healing salad. If you eat a salad like this every day you cannot help but heal. The problem is is that most of us don't like to eat these vegetables and I am with you on that. When I first began to eat salads I did not want to eat a salad like this. It was totally disgusting. It's because I wasn't used to eating it. I was used to eating you know a standard American diet or a diet that is full of processed foods and so when I went to change my diet to eating salads it was torture but what I did was I found a good salad dressing that I could put on the salad and I still didn't do much until I just kept on eating it every day. Every day I just kept on eating a salad and then eventually I got to the place where I started to enjoy the salad. So I'm going to show you a salad dressing that you can make very easily within a couple of minutes that you can put on your salad right now. So here's the dressing recipe and I will put all the ingredients for this salad and the dressing down in the description box below so but we're starting off with some hemp seeds. We'll add some lemon juice and we're going to add some water. Start off with a little and then you can always add more. You can't subtract the water and then we'll add our spices and you may need to add more spices. Just taste it and then you can adjust the spices as needed but this was perfect for me and then you're just going to blend it until it's smooth. Look how creamy it looks. It almost looks like a little ranch dressing. It kind of tastes like it too but it depends on how much herbs you put in the in the dressing but all you do is you add that dressing to the salad. You mix it or toss it and then eat it and eat the whole thing. Eat it every day. Watch your body heal. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you liked it please share it, like it and comment below.
