Ingredients
DRESSING
- 3-4 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil or extra virgin, good quality
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 3 Tbsp shallot optional, minced
SALAD
- 5 oz mixed greens organic
- 1/4 cup Baby tomatoes
- 1/4 cup onion or shallot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup carrot shredded
- 1/4 cup pomegranate arils optional, or dried fruit
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 Tbsp Pepitas toasted or sunflower seeds
Instructions
- First prepare dressing by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl (or small blender) and whisking (or blending) to fully combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, lemon for acidity, or salt or pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare salad by adding greens to a serving bowl or platter and topping with baby tomatoes, shallot or onion, carrots, pomegranate arils or dried fruit (optional), a pinch of salt and pepper, and toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds.
- Add dressing to the salad and toss to coat, or serve on the side. Best when fresh. Store salad separate from dressing if keeping for later use. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Store dressing in the refrigerator 3-4 days. The oil can harden when cold, so let set out for a few minutes to warm and shake well to reincorporate before serving leftovers.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with lesser amount of lemon juice and without optional ingredients.
