Okay, so I made this concoction up a couple weeks ago and I'm telling you guys - I seriously could eat this every single day - even my 6 year old LOVED it! .... Yes, it contains spinach. Yes she still ate every last bit.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Spinach (or any of your favourite greens - NO iceberg lettuce.. it has no nutritional value.)
- 1/2 medium pepper, diced
- 1/2 medium carrot, shredded
- 1/2 medium cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped jicima
- 1/2 medium tomato, chopped
- 2/3 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds, toasted
- braggs liquid soy seasoning, to taste
Dressing (Makes 10 servings, about 2 tbsp each)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- no-salt added seasoning to taste
- 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
1) Toast the raw pumpkin seeds on medium heat until they start "popping", continue to toast for 2-3 minutes stirring frequently until they are well toasted.
2) Mix all the veggies together in a large salad bowl
3) Add the pumpkin seeds and cooked quinoa on top of the veggies
4) Add a bit of the liquid soy seasoning (about 2 tsp) - to taste.
5) Mix all the of the dressing ingredients in a container with a lid and add about 2 tbsp to the salad, cover the container and put in the fridge to use tomorrow :)
6) Mix everything together well and ENJOY!
