Marvelous Life-Force Salad

Fresh greens, crunchy vegetables, avocado and citrus with a bright maple-lemon dressing.

Serves: 2 generous or 4 small portions | Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 generous cups mixed greens
• ½ cup finely shredded red cabbage
• ½ cup grated carrot
• ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 orange, peeled and segmented
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

1. Wash and dry the greens thoroughly. Place them in a wide salad bowl with cabbage and grated carrot.
2. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper until emulsified.
3. Gently toss greens with half the dressing. Add orange segments and avocado just before serving.
4. Scatter toasted pumpkin seeds over the salad and finish with the remaining dressing to taste.

Chef Marie’s Note

Dry greens are the secret to a dressing that clings beautifully. Toast pumpkin seeds briefly in a dry pan and let them cool before adding for an extra layer of aroma and crunch.

At the Table
