How to Make your own Salad Topper Mix

If you regularly eat green salads and want to add some “crunch,” try this nut, seed and fruit salad topper.

Step 1

Place 1/3 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped, 1/2 cup pecan halves, 1/2 cup skin-on almonds and 1/4 cup raw pumpkins seeds in a skillet. Set over medium heat and lightly toast them, swirling pan from time to time, about 5 minutes. Cool nuts and seeds to room temperature.

Step 2

Place nuts and seeds in a bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded, coconut, and 2 Tbsp. hemp seeds. Store mixture in a tight-sealing jar until needed. Makes about 2 cups.

Step 3

Sprinkle the salad topper on such things as mixed green salads, beet salads and fruit salads. You could also sprinkle it on hot oatmeal.

Note: All nuts used in this mixture were the unsalted variety.
