Cuke- Tomato- Microgreen Salad

Fresh and satisfying!

A quick microgreen recipe to add some fresh vegetables to lunch or dinner. Easy to modify, this salad starts with the basics: fresh cucumbers (or Armenian cucumber), fresh tomatoes, and microgreens. Radish, Super Booster, Fennel, Alfalfa, Clover, Pea…choose the microgreen that goes with your favorite salad dressing. Or, mix in the microgreens and dispense with the dressing- this is a salad that is wonderful on its own. It can also be used in tacos, the base of a burrito bowl, or as a topping for tomato soup!

Make it your own

Make the microgreen salad your own by adding optional purslane, nuts or seeds, fresh herbs, and your favorite dressing. Top with edible flowers and you have a salad that is not only delicious and easy, but beautiful!
