Ax Salad Lite
This is my preferred variant of my Ax Salad recipe, with the addition of molasses to provide iron, calcium, magnesium and flavor to replace a ton of spinach and broccoli. Obviously, that means more sugar and less protein, but it's still healthy and it's a lot more fun to eat! ;)
Ax Salad is my attempt to make a nutritionally complete meal using only whole foods, with as few ingredients as possible. It tastes good and is pretty quick and easy to make. Not only that, but it's also pescetarian, and free of nuts, beans, dairy, and gluten. Yes, I'm allergic to a lot of things. :p
Try it! :D
