  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Seeds/Nuts

  1. In a large skillet, add all the nuts and toast on the stovetop over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, mixing often, until fragrant and lightly toasted/browned.
  2. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.

Make the Dressing

  1. Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a bowl.

Assemble the Salad

  1. Add all salad ingredients and toasted nuts to a large mixing bowl and mix together. Mix in the dressing.
  2. Let the salad marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or best 1-2 hours in the fridge before serving.

Recipe Notes

This salad is incredible for meal prep, as it stores well in the fridge for a few days. Easily swap the parsley for cilantro, if you prefer.
