Arugula Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette
LOOK NO FURTHER - this will be your favourite salad!
My mother in law came to visit last week and made her new favourite salad for us - and no joke its the best! The perfect amount of zest and I love that it’s so simple. I added the pine nuts and hemp hearts and think they are a great addition. This salad has been on repeat this week and will continue to be :)
Not only is it delicious - it is AMAZING for your gallbladder!
〰️ Have you ever considered your gallbladder when it comes to your gut health?
If you are looking for ONE thing to fix your digestive issues… you are going to be looking forever.
The body is complex. But your SOLUTION doesn’t have to be if you are following the right protocol! It’s about building resilience to stress, a nutrient dense diet, minerals, proper digestive habits, targeted supplements + so on.
Many people neglect their gallbladder unless they are struggling with debilitating gallbladder attacks. Your gallbladder can be causing your gut issues... even if you don't have severe gallbladder symptoms. Many people have issues with proper flow of bile which is produced by the liver to help you digest fat.
