My Weirdly Delicious Salad with Natural Pre- and Pro-Biotics | Vegan, Gluten-Free
A combination of various healthy ingredients created this weirdly delicious salad with natural pre- and pro-biotics!
Ingredients
- 1 carrot (large) washed
- 1/2 organic red pepper (large) washed
- 1/3 organic English cucumber washed
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup raw naturally-fermented sauerkraut with kimchi spices, if possible
- sunflower and pumpkin seed crumble (see link in article above)
- Homemade whole-grain mustard dressing (see below for recipe)
Instructions
-
Make the dressing first: In a medium mason jar, or any other container that has a lid, mix 1/4 cup organic balsamic vinegar + 3 Tbsp organic old-fashioned wholegrain mustard + 1/3 cup good quality organic olive oil + 1 Tbsp medium grade organic maple syrup + a pinch of grey sea salt + freshly ground organic black pepper (optional). Shake really well and set aside.
-
Grate the carrot using the large side of a cheese grater. Dice the red pepper and English cucumber. Put everything in a medium mixing bowl. Add a generous amount of the dressing (not all of it), and mix. Separate in 2 plates.
-
Cut the avocado in half and either cube each half with a knife, or simply use a spoon to get the flesh out. Add 1 half of avocado per plate, on top of the salad mixture.
-
Add about 1/4 cup of raw naturally fermented kimchi sauerkraut on top, and sprinkle a generous amount of the sunflower & pumpkin seed crumble on top.
-
Drizzle a bit more dressing if too dry.
-
Enjoy right away!
