BBQ Ranch Potato Salad - Light, Healthy, Bursting with Flavor!

Are you like me and even though Fall is officially here (and you love it!) you still also love dragging out the best parts of summer a littleeeee bit moreeee??! 


I know in the Cole Casa we LOVE a good, hearty potato salad pretty much ANY time of year. This side dish always channels the best summer cookout vibes for me, so I periodically include it on our menu in ANY season.


Well this fall, here’s a brand NEW spin on good, ol’ ‘tater salad that I think you’ll LOVEEE! 


It’s also gluten, dairy, and soy free, but customizable for sure! But the REAL bonuses are in the sneaky health benefits! 


The potato itself acts as an awesome binder for detox support, plus they are of course full of amazing vitamins & minerals too. Don't underestimate this star of the show!

The celery in here is cleansing, the eggs add excellent protein & fat, & the real, fresh-from nature sea salt addition is a huge health booster. That humble ingredient is bringing full-body support and irreplaceable minerals to the table. 

Add in the bonus oils I suggest too & you've just taken this recipe next level! They are all especially powerful immune system & detox supporters. 


**To note: all amounts are approximately what I used and this total recipe fed my family of 6 as a side dish for a couple days! It’s SO good though, I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t make it my MAIN dish a few times myself. ;)

NOTES:

    ~I recommend looking for garden-fresh or organic options for all ingredients here if possible, especially meat and any produce on Dirty Dozen list (found HERE). Minimizing chemical exposure is a key for healing.

    ~Ingesting essential oils may not be for everyone, but our household loves this option. We are VERY specific about using oils in this way, and I cannot endorse ingesting oils whose origin and growing practices are unknown. Please do your own research and take caution with essential oils you are using. While they can have great benefits, they are also very concentrated and powerful. If you’d like to discuss what I have learned and what oils I recommend, feel free to contact me!
