Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 4 cups Power Greens Mix or baby kale/baby spinach
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 4 pcs radishes, sliced into matchsticks
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • ½ cup purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1 pc red pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli sprouts

Sunflower Seed Dressing

  • ½ cups sunflower seeds, soaked and rinsed
  • ¼ cups lemon juice
  • 2 gloves garlic
  • ¼ tsp kelp powder
  • 1/8 tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp mustard powder
  • ¼ cup chia gel
  • ¼ cup flax oil
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Place the greens in a large bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice.
  • Use your hands to massage the greens for 1–2 minutes, until they soften and begin to wilt. This “cold braising” technique improves texture and makes nutrients more bioavailable.
  • Add the radishes, celery, broccoli sprouts, shredded cabbage, and red pepper. Toss everything together until well mixed.
  • In a blender, combine the soaked sunflower seeds, lemon juice, garlic, kelp powder, turmeric, mustard powder, chia gel, flax oil, sea salt, and water.
    Blend until smooth and creamy.
    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat evenly.
    Serve immediately, or refrigerate and let the flavors deepen before enjoying.
