When I get home from a long trip, I love to make this easy meal that’s also a stellar gut reset. The secret to gut health is plant diversity. Dieticians recommend 30 diverse plants in your weekly diet. Sounds like a lot but the quinoa salad I make here has four plants in it alone - quinoa, tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley. The kale salad is another two plants. Looky there, our side dishes alone have almost made up a third of the plants we need to get back on track.
