This yummy salad is the brain child of my good friend and Dr. Katie Detox partner Courtney Evans of Well Refined Health Coaching. She’s the master of curated guidance, insights, resources, and wisdom to “Re-Find” authentic wellness in an achievable and sustainable way. I learn something from her literally every time we talk - and there aren’t many people I can say that about! If you’re looking for ways to deepen your relationship with your health, consider working directly with her or in conjunction with the Dr. Katie Detox (at a special rate)!
