Why not give this "that-hit-the-spot" salad a try with us?

Portion Size: 4

Ingredients:

Arugula - 1 Bag

Watermelon - 1/2 Cup

Cherry Tomatoes - 1/2 Cup

Sunflower Seeds - 1/3 Cup

Pumpkin Seeds - 1/3 Cup

Hemp Seeds - 1/3 Cup

Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette - 2 tbs.

Avocado - 1/2 a fruit

Step 1: Prep

Set up your Chef's table in the way you work best - whether you prefer color coded ingredients or a table completley covered in chaos, we don't judge here!

Next, Slice your avocado in half. If you don't wish to use both halves for this recipe, make sure to save the half that still has the pit connected to it so the avocado remains fresh!

Finally, chop the cherry tomatoes into halves as well.

Step 2: Mix It Up!

First, we need the greens!

Empty the arugula pack into a medium sized bowl. Then add your tomatoes and vinaigerette and mix!

Secondly, pour each 1/3 cup of seeds into a small bowl. Stir gently because they can be slippery and try to escape!

Step 2: Plate Up!

But only the arugula with its tomatos and dressing.

Step 3: Sprinkle on the Seeds!

Step 4: Garnish with Avocado and Fresh Watermelon

Step 5: Find a spot in the sun to eat (but don't forget your sunscreen!)
