  • 2 tablespoon a mix of roasted seeds (sesame, pepitas, & sunflowers)
  • a piece of fresh coconut (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon vinegar of your liking ( I used apple cider vinegar)
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Clean all veggies and fruits
  • Spin dry the lettuce leaves in a salad spinner
  • Grate the carrot using a food grater

  • Get some coconut flakes using the peeler
  • Slice the apples thinly using a sharp chef knife
  • Squeeze the lemon on the apple to avoid oxidation
  • Bring all the veggies, apples and seeds in a large salad bowl

Notes

  1. Be careful not to use too much oil since you have seeds which are rich in fat
  2. You can add nuts like almonds if you want to
  3. If you are making this salad ahead of time, only add the vinegar dressing when serving.
