This is no ordinary salad. This is a delicious, nutrient dense salad. Braggs Liquid Amino’s provide 16 different amino acids. Kale is one of the best dark, leafy greens you can eat. Parsley is rich in vitamins K, C and A, while cilantro has amazing antioxidant properties. If using hemp seeds, you are adding omega 3 and omega 6 fats. Pumpkin seeds add a boost of magnesium.
Dressing:
- Raw Tahini – 1/4 cup. Raw is preferable, but roasted can also be used.
- Lemon Juice – 1/4 fresh squeezed.
- Filtered water – 1/4 cup.
- Bragg’s Liquid Amino’s – 2 Tbsp
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Salad:
- Fresh kale – 1 bunch. Pull leaves from ribs and break into bite size pieces.
- Parsley – 1 bunch, remove large stems.
- Cilantro – 1 bunch, remove stems.
- Tomatoes, 2, diced. Leave the seeds!
- Avocado, 1 not overly ripe, diced.
- Dried or roasted pumpkin seed or hemp seeds. (Pilots, be wary of eating hemp seeds in case you have to perform a no notice pee test). Both are packed with nutrients.
Mix salad ingredients and drizzle dressing, toss and serve on a bed of romaine lettuce with a no gluten pumpkin or banana nut bread, slathered with butter.
