Our Weekly Rec: Quinoa & Sweet Potato Salad
This week’s recommendation is to incorporate a hearty portion of microgreens into your meal by tossing them into a leafy salad mix along with your favorite roasted veggie(s) and whatever else you have on hand (i.e. dried fruits, nuts, pan fried chickpeas, etc). We’re adding roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, and sunflower seeds lightly toasted with olive oil for added protein. Our homemade garlic dijon dressing adds a tangy and subtle kick, and you can find both salad & dressing recipes by clicking below.
Note to our Microgreens Subscribers: This week you’re receiving…
sunflower shoots (nutty + crunchy)
oxalis leaves (bright + tangy)
pea shoots (sweet + crunchy)
radish shoots (spicy + zesty)
