Green Apple Sesame Chia Salad

Recipe Description:

If you like to consume your veggies raw, this is a great salad for you. The green beans were lightly steamed, but everything else is raw. Next time, because I have young children, I’ll lightly steam the carrots, too. Bursting with flavor, thanks to the lemon and sesame oil. I added the chia seeds for an extra dose of nutrition – chia seeds are high in Omega-3′s.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Servings: 8

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup fresh green beans

2 medium carrots

2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced

2-3 slices red onion, finely chopped

2 TBSP sesame oil

1 TBSP chia seeds

juice of 1 lemon

Recipe Instructions:

Trim ends off the green beans and cut in thirds. Julienne the carrots. Place in medium saucepan with 2″ boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. When done, drain hot water, and cover with cold water and some ice. Set aside.

In medium-sized bowl add the apples, celery, cucumber, and onion. Add the green beans and carrots and stir to mix.

In small bowl add the oil, seeds, and lemon juice. Drizzle juice mixture over green apple mixture and stir to coat evenly.
