MediterAsian Raw Fruit & Nut Salad

Ingredients:

Red and Green Grapes
Dates*
Apricots*
Lychees
Walnuts
Hempseeds
Hemp Oil (Cold pressed, unrefined--dark to clear light green in color, with a pleasant nutty flavor)

*I always buy organic dried fruit, otherwise they add sulphur dioxide and extra sugar/preservatives. Ingredients should just say=fruit.

Chop the grapes into quarters. Chop walnuts, apricots and dates into bite-size pieces. Buy lychees fresh (if you can find them) and peel & pit them, or buy out of a can and drain excess syrup. Toss in a bowl and sprinkle with hemp seeds and dress with oil.

I had this salad at Galaxy Global Eatery on 15th & Irving (NYC) and it was SO GOOD. The hemp oil and seeds were a nice surprise. I don't think I've ever had hemp before, but I am going to experiment more with it on veggie/quinoa salads.

Enjoy!
