Not all salads have lettuce in them. In addition to being rich in colour, flavour and texture, our sprouted ancient mix salad is a very filling dish that contains an amazing array of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre and essential fats. The ancient mix features fenugreek, an awesome sprout that aids digestion, along with kamut, adzuki beans and lentils- all serving to provide a great amount of protein and energy. This is a complete meal, minus the lettuce!
