An easy salad to throw together when hunger hits hard! Especially nourishing for nursing moms!
Ingredients
Roasted sweet potatoes
Roasted beets
1-2 large handfuls of salad greens, whatever you prefer
Pumpkin seeds
Hemp Hearts
Goji berries
½ an avocado
Tahini, 1 or 2 tablespoons
drizzle of olive oil
drizzle of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
salt and pepper
Nutritional Yeast (optional)
Instructions
Roast a large batch of vegetables that will last you the week. For me this is at least one giant baking sheet full, sometimes an additional small baking sheet as well. Chop them all the same size, toss in olive oil, salt and pepper, and then roast at 375 for 40 minutes to an hour, depending on thickness. My favourites for salads are sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips, and brussels sprouts. Keep these in the fridge ready to go!
Add the greens, roasted veggies, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, goji berries and avocado to a salad bowl.
Drizzle olive oil, vinegar or lemon, and tahini over top.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper and nutritional yeast if using. I love the tahini and nutrition yeast combo!
Give it a mix and enjoy.
*Note: I haven't included any measurements because this is supposed to be an easy salad that you just throw together. There's no need to dirty extra spoons or measuring cups, and you really can't mess it up. If you like a lot of crunch, add more seeds. If you like a lot of vinegar, go for it. It's your salad!
