Library of Recipes: Simple Super Salad!

5 Minute Super Salad

This is one of the recipes that you use when you just need to make up something from almost an empty refridgerator. The recipe varies every time, so feel free to change or add ingredients. The main ideas of this salad are dark leafy greens, lemon vinegar dressing, hemp seeds and other seeds or nuts.

 I really love using kale, not only for its nutritional value but also because it tastes delicious. It's crispy and fresh and somehow just so much more than regular lettuce. I know in Finland we don't really have kale (or at least I haven't found it) but its perfectly fine to use romaine lettuce or any other dark leafy greens. I also recommend everybody to start using hemp seeds, since they are an excellent source of protein including all the needed amino acids. They also taste good and the texture is smooth and creamy. You can use them for salads, smoothies, risottos, wraps etc.
