Alkaline Salad Ingredients:

This alkaline salad is a great recipe to make because it is made with simple ingredients and packed full of health benefits. You can find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store or order them online. 

Alkaline Salad:

• Spring Mix - The base of this salad, spring mix, is a nutrient-rich blend of baby greens. It provides essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion and supporting your immune system.
• Cauliflower - Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable rich in antioxidants, fiber, and choline, which supports brain health. It's a low-calorie addition that enhances the salad's texture and flavor.
• Broccoli - Packed with vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and minerals, broccoli is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains sulforaphane, which may have cancer-fighting benefits.
• Asparagus - Asparagus adds a burst of green to this delicious salad and is a source of essential nutrients like folate, vitamin K, and antioxidants. It supports healthy digestion and may aid in weight management.
• Brussels Sprouts - These mini cabbages are not only cute but also high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They offer anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits and contribute to heart health
• Chickpeas - Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber. They keep you feeling full and provide a steady energy source while adding a pleasant nutty taste.
• Savory Spice - The savory spice blend not only enhances the overall flavor but also introduces antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It elevates the taste while promoting your well-being.
• Coconut Aminos - A healthier alternative to soy sauce, coconut aminos lend a savory, umami flavor to your salad while being gluten-free and low in sodium. They offer essential amino acids and may support heart health.
• Pea Sprouts - Pea sprouts are young, tender shoots of green peas. They are a nutritional powerhouse, providing an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Pea sprouts are an excellent source of vitamins C and A, promoting healthy skin and a strong immune system. They also offer a satisfying crunch and a subtle sweetness to this vegan salad.
• Microgreens - Microgreens, such as broccoli, radish, or arugula microgreens, are tiny but mighty in terms of nutrition. They are densely packed with essential vitamins and minerals, making them a superfood. Microgreens can provide a concentrated source of nutrients, including vitamins K and C, folate, and beta-carotene, which support overall health.
• Avocado - Avocado is a creamy and heart-healthy addition to your salad. It's known for its monounsaturated fats, which may help reduce bad cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease. Avocado is also a good source of fiber, potassium, and various vitamins, including folate, vitamin K, and vitamin E.

​Alkaline Salad Dressing Ingredients:

• Avocado - Avocado is in the dressing as well. This is the creamy and heart-healthy base of your alkaline dressing. It's packed with monounsaturated fats, which are good for your heart, and it's a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin K and folate.
• Fresh Lemon Juice - Fresh lemon juice not only adds zesty brightness to your dressing but is also an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports your immune system. It's also known for its alkalizing effect on the body.

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil - A cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, extra virgin olive oil offers a healthy dose of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It's associated with heart health and may help reduce inflammation.
• Garlic - Garlic adds savory depth to this creamy dressing while providing potential immune-boosting properties and cardiovascular benefits. It's a flavorful and healthful addition to the mix.
• Fresh Basil - Fresh basil brings a burst of flavor to your dressing and is not only delicious but also a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These compounds may have anti-inflammatory effects and support overall health.
• Black Pepper - Black pepper adds a touch of spiciness and also aids in the absorption of certain nutrients in the body, making it a flavorful and healthful choice for this alkaline salad dressing.
• Sea Salt - Sea salt, when used in moderation, enhances the flavors of the dressing. It provides essential minerals like sodium and chloride, which are vital for various bodily functions, including nerve and muscle function.

How To Make This Roasted Alkaline Salad And Creamy Alkaline Dressing:

This alkaline salad is one of my favorite alkaline meals because it is so easy to make, it's great for weight loss, and it tastes amazing. 

1. Prepare the Roasted Alkaline Salad:

a. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

b. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and chickpeas.

c. Drizzle the vegetables with a touch of coconut aminos for flavor and the savory spice blend. Toss well to coat.

d. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet.

e. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to stir them occasionally for even roasting.

2. Make the Creamy Alkaline Dressing:

a. In a blender or food processor, combine the flesh of the ripe avocado, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh basil leaves.

b. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

c. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined, and the dressing achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

3. Assemble the Salad:

a. In a large salad bowl, arrange the spring mix greens as the base.

b. Add the freshly roasted vegetables and chickpeas on top of the greens.

c. Slice the avocado into thin slices and add to the bowl.

d. Drizzle the creamy alkaline dressing generously over the salad.

e. Add the pea sprouts and microgreens to the large salad bowl. Toss the salad gently to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly. Serve and enjoy!

Hint: You can assemble this alkaline salad in individual bowls, however, I find it easier to just throw it all together in one large bowl.

How To Store This Alkaline Salad And Alkaline Salad Dressing:

Storing your Roasted Alkaline Salad and Creamy Dressing is important to maintain freshness and flavor. Here's how to do it:

1. Salad:

• Refrigeration: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best to keep the dressing separate if you're not consuming it all at once. The salad will stay fresh for about 2-3 days in the fridge.

2. Creamy Dressing:

• Refrigeration: The creamy dressing should be refrigerated in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It's essential to place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dressing before sealing the container. This helps prevent oxidation and keeps the avocado from turning brown. Stored this way, the dressing should remain good for about 2-3 days.
