Best Salad Ever
For the salad base you’ll need:
Mixed Greens
Finely shredded cabbage and carrots – I just bought the pre-shredded raw coleslaw mix from my local health food store
1/2 an avocado, diced
1/2 a pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
Lemon vinaigrette - recipe below
1 Tbs Hemp Seeds
In a large bowl layer mixed greens, shredded cabbage, avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle a small amount of lemon vinaigrette lightly on top. Focus mainly on the marinated shallots, they are the best part!! Then sprinkle your hemp seeds on top.
For the spicy Red Pepper Dressing you’ll need:
7 ounces red bell pepper (about 2 medium sized peppers)
1/4 cup raw walnuts
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1 Tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Molasses
1 tsp Cranberry Juice
1 tsp Cumin
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt to taste
2 Tbs water or more to blend
Add all ingredients to a high speed blender like a VitaMix or a food processor and blend until smooth.
Place several spoonfuls of the Red Pepper Dressing in the corner of a plastic bag and cut the tip with a sharp pair of scissors. This will act as a piping bag so you can make pretty designs with your dressing :) Use the piping bag to drizzle your dressing over the salad and prepare to be blown away by #1 how gorgeous it looks, and #2 how amazingly delicious it is!!
