Health Highlights

A simple salad featuring rich pine nuts and creamy avocado. Top with yesterday's leftover wild rice and shrimp (if eating on a day it's allowed).

Ingredients

1 bag(s)	Baby spinach (16 oz, washed and dried)
1 avocado(s)	Avocado (sliced)
1/4 cup	Pine nuts, dried (toasted)
1/4 cup	Walnuts
1 tbsp	Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 tbsp hulled	Hemp seeds, shelled
1 tbsp	Pomegranate seeds (seeds, optional (for color))
3 tbsp	Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 tbsp	Lemon juice (fresh)
1/4 tsp	Salt and pepper (each, or to taste)

If pine nuts aren’t toasted, heat them gently on medium or low in a frying pan but watch them carefully as they can burn quickly.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Toss everything into a bowl and enjoy.
Add any other "goodies" such as shrimp, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, and of course yesterday's wild rice.
