These super foods make this a super salad!

Ingredients:

Serves: 1– 2
Ingredients:
¼ cup Avena’s goji berries, soaked in ½ cup spring water
¼ cup raw walnuts, coarsely chopped, soaked in ½ cup spring water with a pinch of Celtic sea salt
½ cup diced celery
½ cup green seedless grapes, halved
½ cup diced apple with skin on (Golden Delicious, or any apple you prefer to eat raw)
1 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. liquid raw honey
1 Tbsp. Avena’s hemp oil
several small Romaine lettuce leaves
pinch of Avena’s Celtic sea salt
one or two walnut halves for garnish

Overnight, or several hours in advance: soak the goji berries and walnuts in two separate bowls at room temperature, then drain (make sure you drink the soak water from the gojis!). Combine goji berries, walnuts, celery, grapes and apple in a medium-size mixing bowl. Drizzle next 3 ingredients over and toss to coat. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving plat and top with combined mixture. Sprinkle with a pinch of Celtic sea salt (for delicious sweet-salty flavour), and garnish with walnut halves. Serve immediately – best at room temperature.
