  • 1 handful Spring Mix Greens

Note

Serving Suggestions:

  • A small to medium beet will work in an S setting like this salad.
  • Paired with the crunch of the sunflower seeds/kernels (consider trying pumpkin seeds too for a fun change-up) and simple dressing, this beautiful side dish pairs well with salmon or other fish sauteed with butter, lemon, and garlic. Not a fish lover? Chicken goes well with it, too.
  • Or if you'd rather make this salad a full meal rather than a side... amp up the amounts of greens on your plate and add diced, cooked chicken or salmon to your big bed of greens and grated beet.
  • Be sure to use the full 2 Tablespoons of sunflower kernels if making this a full meal and go a bit heavier on the vinegar and oil.)
