Lemony Carrot + Celery Detox Salad

So, I’m really really crushin’ on (or should I say crunchin’ on… Haha. #nerd) carrots & celery at the moment! I tend to go thru these phases and its safe to say that I’m in a full on carrots & celery phase, adding these 2 health & beauty boosters to as many meals as I can.
Last week, I decided to combine the two, mixing in some detoxing dill, making this beautiful, vibrant, crunchy salad!
Other than a lot of peeling & chopping, this salad is just too easy not to make and full of so many health & beauty benefits. Start adding carrots & celery to your life on the reg for these happy, healthy, beauty benefits:
