Indulge in a refreshing and nutrient-packed journey with this Roasted Alkaline Salad. This vibrant ensemble of mixed greens and roasted vegetables combines with a creamy, avocado-based dressing for a harmonious balance of flavors and health benefits. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and chickpeas.
Drizzle the vegetables with a touch of coconut aminos for flavor and the savory spice blend. Toss well to coat.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet.
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.
Make the Creamy Alkaline Dressing:
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.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Blend until all the ingredients are well combined, and the dressing achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
Assemble the Salad:
In a large salad bowl, arrange the spring mix greens as the base.
Add the freshly roasted vegetables and chickpeas on top of the greens.
Slice the avocado into thin slices and add to the bowl.
Drizzle the creamy alkaline dressing generously over the salad.
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!
