Sprouted Wheat

White Winter Wheat. This recipe also calls for sprouted white winter wheat, which is a bit milder in flavor compared to other varieties. This wheat is typically planted in the fall and harvested in late spring. Like most sprouted grains, it boasts a myriad of health benefits. These grains add great texture and flavor to this salad.

Olive Oil

Moire’s Life Olive Oil. To prepare this dish, massage your kale with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Please note not to massage for long or use too much oil as this can cause your kale leaves to become mushy. I recommend Moire’s PDO Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil that has a protected designation of origin (PDO) for this recipe. This distinction is actually quite difficult to achieve as the product must be grown and packaged in a specific geographic location of significance based on the type of product. In regards to EVOO, their PDO is in Kalamata, Greece, an area that has become well known and important in the olive oil world. Therefore, these olives are grown, pressed, produced, bottled, and sealed in the area. Strict requirements and regulations are required to get a PDO thus guaranteeing that you are using 100% pure and authentic EVOO.

The Components Of The Simple Superfoods Salad

This salad is topped with an array of superfoods such as kale, berries, walnuts, broccoli, and chia seeds. Kale leaves are the base of this delicious salad and boast a ton of healthy nutrients. This leafy green is a great source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and other necessary antioxidants. Strawberries are also high in antioxidants like Vitamin C. They have also been known to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve cholesterol and circulatory health. Walnuts are high in Vitamin E and polyphenols, which have been known to fight inflammation. Strawberries have also been known to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Chia seeds are low in calories and carbohydrates. On the other hand, this superfood contains fiber, protein, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Orange Vinaigrette

This salad also features a citrusy, flavorful orange vinaigrette. It is simple to make and adds the perfect finishing touch to the salad.
