Directions:
- Chop or shred all the salad ingredients except lettuce, blueberries, hemp hearts and flowers. Place in a large bowl.
- Roast the seeds and nuts on the stove. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Turn off heat and season with spices.
- Chop lettuce and place on bottom of serving dish or bowl.
- Make dressing by blending all ingredients together. Pour over vegetables and mix together. Pour this mixture on top of greens.
- Pour nuts and seeds on top of salad. Top with blueberries, hemp hearts and borage flowers.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- As you improvise, go for lots of crunch, diverse colors, and diverse flavors.
- Remember the fat! Cook nuts in fat like ghee and/or olive oil, then create a dressing with olive oil (and maybe even mayo). This will make your taste buds (and cells!) jump for joy.
- Try more garlic! Dr. LoRang uses between 2-8 heads of garlic whenever he cooks savory dishes.
- Try more seasonings (All Spice Culinarium is full of inspiration).
- Try more acid (like vinegar or lemon juice).
- Salt to taste.
