- 2 Tbsp mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
Olive Oil Dressing- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp vinegar (apple cider or white wine vinegar recommended)
- 1 tsp hemp seeds (optional, for added nuttiness)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp vinegar (apple cider or white wine vinegar recommended)
- 1 tsp hemp seeds (optional, for added nuttiness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh young sprouts and the bell pepper. If using a bell pepper, remove the seeds and slice it thinly. It’s crucial to ensure the sprouts are well-drained; you can place them in a colander to drain excess water or gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
This salad is wonderfully versatile! Feel free to incorporate any other vegetables you have available. Cucumbers, tomatoes, or thinly sliced onions would all be excellent additions, making your salad even more vibrant and substantial. If adding other vegetables, wash and prepare them by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the delicious olive oil dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Whisk everything together until well combined. For an extra layer of nutty flavor, you can stir in 1 teaspoon of hemp seeds. Drizzle this delightful dressing evenly over the prepared sprouts and vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the mixed nuts and hemp seeds on top for a beautiful and healthy salad presentation. Enjoy!
