Have you ever pimped out your salad with some deliciously sweet, summer stone fruits? Well, if not, you’re missing out my friend.
The contrast of crunchy greens, creamy avocado, herby dill and sweet nectarines makes this salad a party in your mouth. No longer will you dread eating a salad for lunch.
I love adding a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top of my salads, one, for another dimension of texture, but also because they are so high in protein. While it’s perfectly easy to meet your daily protein needs on a vegan diet, hemp seeds are a great way to get a boost!
