Ingredients

For the salad

5 cups chopped vegetables - cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. *or use a pre-chopped slaw mix
¼ cup finely diced red onion
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
½ cup hemp hearts
⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup chopped dates

For the dressing

½ ripe avocado
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup fresh citrus juice - we use fresh lemon and lime
2 cloves garlic
¼ cup chopped cilantro
½ tbsp ground ginger
3 dates (if your dates have hardened, soften by soaking them in hot water for 5 minutes and then draining the water off)
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp fresh pepper

Instructions

Add all of the salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Toss the ingredients well and set aside.
Add the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well again to coat.
You can serve right away but this salad tastes best after an hour or so in the fridge.

Storage tips

This makes six generous portions so it works well for meal prep. The flavor develops even more from marinating in the fridge and it tastes even better.
Keep it refrigerated for up to a week in an airtight container for easy lunches or a quick side dish.
