This salad is amazing for when you're in your luteal phase. I've been eating this salad while seed cycling during the luteal phase when your body needs more progesterone supporting foods. Sesame oil and sesame seeds are amazing for supporting progesterone, along with the cabbage and avocado. Cruciferous vegetables are always hugely great for your health, but especially during the luteal phase.

This salad is so filling on its own, but if you want to make it a fully balanced meal, I highly recommend a good fillet of wild salmon. This is one of my favorite salads to meal prep. Just toss the vegetables together and leave the dressing out until you're ready to serve! Enjoy besties 🫶
