Salad Microgreens
Microgreens Salad is a healthy dish that highlights the deliciousness and nutritional richness of young, still very tender vegetable shoots! These micro vegetables have a much higher concentration of vitamins and antioxidants than mature vegetables, with a fresh, slightly sweet and spicy taste, and a very beautiful and colorful appearance. Served fresh with side vegetables, crunchy nuts, and a light vinaigrette dressing, with no animal ingredients whatsoever. Perfect as a sumptuous appetizer, a side dish to a main meal, or an instant, refreshing nutritional boost!
