I am always looking for delicious and hearty salads to add to my rotation and recently this has become a favorite. Packed with diverse flavors from the mint, basil, avocado, hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, and hemp seed oil – this salad mimics Mediterranean flavors. Additionally it is a good source of protein and healthy fats from the hemp seed hearts and avocado. Want even more protein? Consider adding quick baked tofu or vegan chicken strips.
