We're so happy to have our new Micro Green Farmer at Victoria's Farmers Market that we'd thought we share a light and delicious spring salad filled with micro greens! Before posting up the recipe,did you know that MicroGreens are an umbrella term meaning they're the sprouted or beginning stage of a leafy green? Also micrograms content 2-3 times more nutrient density than their full grown counterpart? That's pretty amazing! Also,not only are the very inexpensive to purchase at your local farmer market but they're really easy to grown in your own home!
For this salad you'll need:
1 cup of microgreens
1 blood orange peeled and cubed
1/2 of an avocado peeled and cubed
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1/4 chopped cup of walnuts
For the Dressing:
1 tablespoon of cold pressed olive oil
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 clove of chopped garlic,optional
a dash of salt and pepper
Add all salad ingredients together in the large bowl. Mix the dressing contents together in a jar,pour over salad when ready to eat!
