Speedy Summer Hemp Power Salad

I really enjoyed this one. It's interesting because I don't love dill nor hemp seed, but it tastes good in this salad! Here is the recipe for anyone who'd like to try it out :) I made one change to the recipe... I had it over top romaine lettuce and not just vegetables. OH and I left out the red pepper because I don't like them. So that makes two changes. Anyway, here's the recipe:

for the vegetable base:

1 cup fresh corn

1 large tomato, seeded and chopped

2 green onions, chopped

1 & 1/2 cups chopped cucumber

1 red pepper, chopped

1 tbsp minced fresh dill weed

3 tbsp hulled hemp seed

 for the dressing:

1/2 cup avocado flesh (1/2 a large avocado)

1 garlic clove

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (1/2 a large lemon)

3 tbsp water

1 tbsp hemp seed

1/4 tsp salt, or to taste

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Directions: 

1. Chop vegetables (and lettuce if you desire) and place into a large bowl.

2. In a mini processor, process the dressing ingredients together until mostly smooth. You can also mash/chop/mix the dressing ingredients by hand.

3. Pour dressing onto vegetables and stir well. Now, stir the hemp seed into the salad. Season to taste and serve.

I will definitely be making this salad again in the near future. I can't wait for tomorrow's salad! I hope it's as good as this one :)
