We have scoured the web to provide you with 20 of the best detox salads that will help you with your diet. We have tried them all and can confirm that they really are delicious. 

While you may have tried some of these salads before, we hope that there are a few features that you have not yet tried. 

What Is A Detox Salad? 

While all salads are healthy and will help your diet, detox salads are the best option if you are looking to lose weight, and be healthier in general.

Detox salads are intended to help your body detox from toxins. Superfoods are a particularly popular choice for detox salads, and they will contain many healthy vegetables and salad options.

Detox salads will feature healthier dressings such as lemon and olive oil, but the dressings are not typically packed with calories. Instead, they will be a lighter option. You usually do not add any type of carbs or proteins to a detox salad, but they can contain healthy fats, such as avocado.

While you may assume that detox salads will be quite bland because of this, they are actually very tasty and filling. Not only are they a healthy option that helps with detoxing, but they are also full of flavor too.
