Description

The best recipes are usually the simplest. This simple side salad recipe has a quick homemade dressing and fresh greens, and the unexpected addition of hemp hearts gives texture and hearty nutrition!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh lemon juice from one large juicy lemon (~ 3 tablespoons)

  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 5 ounces mixed spring greens, chilled
