Turkey Taco Salad
May 05, 2026
This is one of my favorite Mexican food-inspired recipes.
In general, I love the flavors of Latin American food. The herbs and spices are flavorful and rich, as well as potent in anti-cancer properties.
This recipe combines my love of this food, with the principles of an anticancer diet.
That means the beans, rice, and corn are omitted.
While that may disappoint some of you, the bright side is that these omissions come with significantly less bloating, gas, and discomfort.
It also means we can replace those foods with lighter, much more nutrient-dense and anticancer ingredients.
