    Generally, you don't think of recipes for salad, but this one is sooooo good. I got it from a book called "The 50 best plants on the planet".

    Ingredients

    • 3 T whole almonds, coarsely chopped
    • 1 T pumpkin seeds or pepitas
    • 1 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
    • pinch of red pepper flakes
    • 3 T olive oil
    • 1 1/2 T lemon juice
    • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
    • salt
    • pepper
    • 3 1/2 c Romaine (about one head chopped or 1 bag)
    • 3/4 c fresh dill, chopped
    • 3/4 c fresh basil, chopped
    • 1/2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
    • 1 1/2 oz goat cheese (I used plain, but you can use herbed or flavored if you'd like)

    Directions

    1. In a large skillet, toast the almonds, pepitas, sesame seeds and pinch of red pepper until the nuts and seeds are all lightly toasted and golden brown.
    2. Set aside to cool.
    3. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    4. Toss together the Romaine with the basil, dill, and cilantro.
    5. Toss with the dressing you made earlier.
    6. Top with the toasted nuts and seeds.
    7. Crumble over the goat cheese before serving.
