Tasty additions so summer salads

Way Of Life Health Shop

With summer coming on, salads are becoming popular again, so I thought I would share some simple ways to make a salad a bit more interesting.
Nuts and Seeds such as almonds, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, etc don't have to be used plain. Try:
* Dry roasting in an oven, or add olive oil and salt and roast.
* Toast in a lightly oiled pan.
* Sprinkle with Tamari or Coconut Aminos, mix through and roast in oven until dry and toasted.
* Try flavouring sunflower or almonds as follows. Mix together 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp lime juice, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Mix through the nuts or seeds and roast until dry and toasted.
Top salads with nuts and seeds just before serving, to add different flavours and textures. A great addition to green, beetroot, quinoa, rice or any other salad combination.
* Black Cumin Seeds, Nigella Sativa, also add an interesting flavour. They can be dry toasted until they become fragrant, then sprinkled on salads, or they can be added to a dressing. This is my favourite!
