Spirulina Spinach Salad
2 - Lunch, 4 - FarmOne - Salads, Salad
Ingredients
2 large bowls of baby spinach leaves
1 large tomato diced
1-2 ripe avocados
2 handfuls of sunflower or clover sprouts
1/2 teaspoon of spirulina powder to start
Splash of olive oil
High quality sea salt to taste
Description
I’ll admit it upfront- spirulina powder may be an acquired taste for some. Some like it right off the bat, but some have to try it out for a while before they get to really love it. Remember that over our taste buds may change! It is certainly worth trying, for the fantastic benefits of ingesting chlorophyll-rich spirulina. Spirulina is about 60% protein by weight, and is rich in B vitamins, omega fatty acids, and enzymes.
Directions
Be sure to wash and dry the spinach very thoroughly. We do not want any soggy spinach for this salad!
Add to a bowl and toss in the tomato, avocado and sprouts.
Start with ½ tsp. of spirulina powder, a splash of olive oil, and a bit of salt.
If you like what you taste and want to go a bit further, feel free to add more spirulina!
