Avocado sprout salad

About a cup

I thought of this because I love guacamole, but it’s so energy dense. The sprouts add volume without a lot of calories, so you get to eat more! The pepitas also give it a unique texture. It’s obviously a really simple dish, but those are in my opinion the most delicious. I like to serve this with veggie strips (bell peppers, carrots, cucumber slices, etc.) and eat it for lunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 small ripe avocado
  • ½ small tomato, chopped
  • ½ cup sprouts of your choice (I used alfalfa/radish), shredded (I just used my hands)
  • 1 tablespoon raw pepitas
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preparation

Basically… mash the avocado in a bowl and mix everything together. It’s pretty simple.

“Pepita” is just another name for a pumpkin seed.

I’m new to raw and have been eating this everyday! Yum!! Note-I love hot food so I add jalapeno to mine.
