Today we’re here with Drew and she’s going to show us one of her favorite recipes, a tasty and fresh summer hemp seed salad!
Thanks to the power of hemp seeds, this is is an easy and quick meal packed full of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, as well as other essential nutrients. This hemp seed salad also makes a great base for other ingredients. You can easily add more protein, like tofu, nuts, eggs or chicken, depending on whether you want a vegan salad.
With this recipe, we focused on fresh vegetables that are in season right now in Central Texas. You can pick some great vegetables that are in season where you live, too.
