Instructions

METHOD: FOR ANTI-INFLAMMATORY VINAIGRETTE

Place the chopped turmeric, ginger, and garlic into a robo coupe. Pulse repeatedly until the mixture becomes finely chopped. Do not over process as it will create a paste. Remove mixture and place into a stainless steel mixing bowl. Whisk in all other ingredients until fully incorporated.

METHOD: FOR SEED AND NUT MIX

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!
