  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 3 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Raw almonds, sliced
  • 2 cups Fresh baby spinach, packed
  • 8 ounces Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 ounces English cucumber, diced
  • 4 ounces Red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh vegetables thoroughly under cool running water to remove soil and surface bacteria.
  2. Spin dry the baby spinach using a salad spinner to remove excess moisture that dilutes the dressing.
  3. Dice the cucumber into quarter-inch pieces, removing seeds if they contain excessive moisture.
  4. Halve the cherry tomatoes lengthwise to create uniform pieces throughout.
  5. Remove the stem and seeds from the red bell pepper, then dice into quarter-inch consistent pieces.
  6. Mince the fresh garlic clove finely into small pieces that distribute evenly.
  7. Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat for one minute to prepare it for toasting seeds.
  8. Add pumpkin seeds to the dry skillet, stirring frequently for three to four minutes until fragrant.
  9. Add sunflower seeds to the skillet, continuing to stir for two minutes to avoid burning while enhancing flavor.
  10. Transfer toasted seeds to a small plate to cool slightly before combining with other ingredients.
  11. Combine fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano in a small bowl.
  12. Whisk vigorously for thirty seconds until the dressing emulsifies and becomes slightly cloudy.
  13. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning before adding to your base.
  14. Place the dried spinach into a medium mixing bowl as the foundation.
  15. Distribute diced cucumber evenly across the spinach.
  16. Add halved cherry tomatoes and diced red bell pepper in separate layers for visual appeal.
  17. Sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds across the vegetable layers.
  18. Add flax seeds and chia seeds, then scatter sliced almonds on top.
  19. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the assembled ingredients, tossing gently to distribute evenly without crushing delicate components.
  20. Divide the mixture into two equal portions, serving immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

Store spinach and vegetables separately from seeds and dressing in airtight glass containers to maintain optimal texture. Once combined, consume within two hours before seeds absorb moisture and lose their crunch.
