Five B Salad

Not one, not two, not three…but FIVE super healthy “B” vegetables form the basis of this salad – and it’s the Bomb! Now, granted, not everyone is keen on Beets, or even Broccoli, so use your imagination and substitute if you must. But I say, “Be Brave, Be Bold and eat the Bloomin’ ‘Begetables!”

Makes 8 servings

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fresh Bean sprouts
3 cups Broccoli florets
½ cup fresh Blueberries
1 red Bell pepper, seeded and sliced
½ cup Beets, cooked, cooled and diced
¾ purple onion, sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes
½ cup pumpkin seeds, toasted

Dressing:

2 tbsp rice vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil (or avocado, flaxseed or pumpkin oil)
3 cloves garlic (pressed through garlic press)
6 tbsp gluten-free tamari (use soy sauce if you can’t find this)

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients in the first list.
Cover and refrigerate if not serving right away.
When ready to serve, whisk all dressing ingredients and serve on the side.
