Seed your salad

By Kashi Read more cooking, daily challenge, mealtime, and nutrition
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Toss your usual yummy mix of veggies...then throw in a handful of seeds. Often overlooked when it comes to assembling a salad, seeds boast a complement of healthful fats and are a flavorful substitute for high-calorie, high-fat dressings. Today, challenge yourself to eat a salad at lunch or dinner and toss on a handful of sunflower, pumpkin, sesame or flaxseeds. And remember: Toasting seeds lightly brings out their natural flavor.

    I have used seeds for years in salads. I make a jicama slaw and it is the crowning touch for a fab slaw!

    absolutely love seeds! Recommend toasted flax. However does toasting seeds or nuts decreases nutritional value such as vitamin content?
