Eating more salad is a wonderful way to nourish and alkalize the body. For example, raw fruits, vegetables, and fats in a well-balanced salad will give your body valuable enzymes that make digestion easy. This will fuel you with more energy instead of depleting it. Isn't that what food is supposed to do?!
A well-balanced salad should have various colors, textures, and flavors. By combining seasonal fruits, nuts, and seeds, you've suddenly created a beautiful meal, not merely an uninspired "necessity" on the plate.
🥣 Ingredients
- Spinach - Depending on what greens I have on hand, determines whether I use spinach or kale. Both hearty greens taste great in this recipe.
- Apple - I like Granny Smith green apples for that bit of tang, but any apple will work in this super food salad recipe.
- Mixed Berries - I like a combination of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. You can also simply add one type of berry.
- Lemon Juice - I prefer fresh lemon juice, but you can use the bottled kind. The lemon juice also helps balance the greens and add brightness to the smoothie.
- Pumpkin Seeds - They are a great plant-based protein source with 8 grams of protein per serving.
- Cilantro Tahini Dressing - You will love this salad dressing, not only for this recipe, but also for your other favorite salads.
- Red Onion - I highly recommend a red onion instead of a white or yellow onion. The flavor in a red onion is unique.
- Parsley - I prefer fresh herbs in all my salads.

Super Food Salad with Cilantro Tahini Dressing Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach
- ½ lemon, juice (Juiced)
- 1 apple, red delicious (Diced)
- 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup berries, mixed (Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoon parsley, fresh
- ¼ cup onion, red (Diced)
- 1 pinch sea salt (To taste)
- 1 Pinch black pepper, ground (To taste)
- 1 drizzle cilantro tahini dressing (See below)
Cilantro Tahini Dressing Ingredients
- ¼ cup tahini paste
- ¼ cup cilantro, fresh (Chopped)
- ½ clove garlic, fresh (Minced)
- ½ tablespoon tamari, gluten-free (Gluten-Free soy sauce)
- ½ juice lemon, juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- For the dressing: Whisk or blend all ingredients together. Add more water until desired consistency is reached. If you want the cilantro in a smooth consistency, I suggest blending it in a blender. However, leaving the cilantro chopped is an easy and quick way to make this dressing. This is how I enjoy it.
- For the salad: In a large serving bowl, add the spinach, half of the lemon juice, a drizzle of Tahini Dressing, and a little sea salt.
- Massage until the spinach starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Top with apples, pumpkin seeds, berries, onions & parsley. Drizzle the cilantro tahini dressing over top.
