Mix all ingredients together in stainless steel bowl. Layout onto a full-size sheet tray, making sure that it is a single even layer. Roast at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until a light golden brown. Let cool and store in an air-tight jar in a cool dry place.
METHOD: FOR SALAD
Place all vegetables except the avocado into a medium-sized, stainless steel mixing bowl. Add the vinaigrette, salt, and pepper. Mix well to fully coat all of the ingredients. Add in the spring mix and toss until greens are fully coated. Spin salad with your hand to create a semi-tight ball that has height. Place into the center of serving plate. Garnish with avocado and roasted seed mix. Enjoy!
