When I am tired, busy or overloaded with carbs, a big green salad is the perfect lunch or dinner.

Big Green Salad

It’s easy. Mixed salad leaves, a whole avocado, a whole Lebanese cucumber, 12 kalamata olives and a quarter cup of hemp seeds, then a dousing of Tahini Lime Salad Dressing.

Greens, protein and healthy fats. What more does the body need?

Don’t answer that.

Hemp seeds are chewy, nutty little morsels of protein and good fat.
