Do you ever make a salad and think it just needs something else? Well, I think this is something else. This seed mix has so many wonderful nutrients and healthy fats, plus the wonderful benefits of turmeric too. This has become a standard addition to my salads recently.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups of sunflower seeds
• 1 ½ cups of pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup of sesame seeds
• ½ of linseeds
• ½ cup of chia seeds
• ½ cup of chopped macadamia nuts or almonds (optional)
• 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons (not more) of good quality olive oil

PROCEDURE:

1. Heat oven to 190C
2. Mix seeds (and nuts if using), turmeric and salt in a large baking tray
3. Add olive oil and mix well
4. Bake for about 20 – 25 minutes or until golden. This will require turning the seeds regularly (3 – 4 times while baking) so they are evenly toasted.
5. Cool and store in an airtight jar.
6. Sprinkle over your favourite salad.
