Green HULK Powerhouse Salad

Why is this salad a powerhouse?? The amazing blend of greens provides a high dose of calcium, magnesium, vitamin K and vitamin C. Avocados and walnuts provide heart healthy fat and vitamin E. Pumpkin seeds are super rich in immune boosting zinc, and the incredible blend of sprouts supplies trace minerals,enzymes and plant based protein.

Ingredients: 

Handful of mixed organic greens- I used Earthbound Farm Organic Half and Half Mix.

Handful of shredded kale – I used Organic SuperKALE salad slaw mix

Handful of sprouts- I used Uncle George’s El Supremo blend

Half an avocado, chopped

Half a cucumber, chopped

2 green onion, chopped

Handful of walnuts

2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

crumbled goats cheese, optional

Directions: Toss all ingredients together in a large salad bowl

Certified Organic sprouts from Uncle George

Dressing:

2-3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

 juice of half a lemon

1 tsp dried oregano

1 garlic clove, crushed

Directions: Mix all ingredients together and pour over salad. I like to infuse my dressing with garlic, so I typically let it sit   for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Strong enough for the HULK himself.
