My clients always tell me, "make it easy or I won't do it." That sentiment rings true ten-fold between now and New Year’s.

I may be a nutritionist, but I get it. I'm also guilty of getting so caught up with my clients and my cleanse program that I forget to eat all day. Admission: sometimes I even chow down on a bag of potato chips as a pre-dinner snack. Yikes!

So, we all deviate from time to time. The key is to make a concerted effort to get back on track.

Here's a salad recipe that takes five minutes to make. It can be made ahead of time and will last in the fridge all week. And it's so delicious, you'll happily take a moment to slow down and devour it.

I use radishes, snap peas and tomatoes, but toss in any raw veggies you have on hand. Top with some pumpkin seeds, which are loaded with immune-boosting zinc and calming tryptophan, and you've got the perfect, nutrient packed meal.

Gift yourself this delicious cleansing salad and you'll be much better at gifting everyone else!
