Doin' Some Cookin'... Pineapple Blueberry Salad with Lemon Chia Seed Dressing

So I'm back on the wagon of healthy eating and working out since my Vegas vacation. I'm on Day 2 of the 21-Day Flat Belly Challenge. I keep getting stuck on their 20 Minute Power Plank Workout and can't hold the plank positions for longer than 3 minutes at a time.

This salad gets an extra flat belly boost from hydrating cucumbers that help flush out the digestive system. The enzymes in the pineapple ease digestion and blueberries have been proven to diminish belly fat. Avocados and almonds not only add bloat-reducing fiber but have monounsaturated fats that help to keep belly fat at bay. This salad is a flat belly dream.

To make this more of a dinner salad top with grilled chicken or salmon for a light, refreshing, and filling meal.
