\"Spring<\/p>\n

Happy Easter everyone! Hope your day is just crammed with family, delicious food, and meaning for this special day! Speaking of food, in honour of today I decided not<\/em> to go with something decadently sweet, Easter egg or bunny shaped, or do a hot cross bun recipe\u2026because there are lots of great ones all over blog world right now. I choose instead to do something light and easy, to accompany an Easter meal\u2026a Spring Salad.<\/p>\n

Ok. I just lied. I didn\u2019t do something fun and crazy \u201cEastery\u201d because I have this thing where I seem to forget all about holidays until the day before. Then I realize I have no time to test out some really complicated a healthy version of Hot Cross Buns, or whatever is Easter food is. But hey, everyone serves salad with the big Easter meal, right? So, here\u2019s a delicious, quick salad you can pop alongside your roast whatever-it-is-you\u2019re-roasting.<\/p>\n

Right. Moving on.<\/p>\n

Spring Salad<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 2 eggs, hard boiled, then cut in rounds<\/li>\n
  2. 2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds, toasted<\/li>\n
  3. 1-2 Romaine heart*<\/li>\n
  4. \u00bd green pepper<\/li>\n
  5. 1 small carrot, julienned<\/li>\n
  6. \u00bc cup dried cranberries<\/li>\n
  7. 3 tbsp. rice vinegar<\/li>\n
  8. 3 tbsp. Braggs soy sauce<\/li>\n
  9. Olive oil (in mister)<\/li>\n
  10. Cracked pepper<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *I used just one big one<\/p>\n

    Start by boiling the eggs. While you do that, toast the pumpkin seeds for a couple minutes (it doesn\u2019t take long!) Cut up the lettuce and veggies. Mix up the vinegar and Braggs soy sauce<\/a>. Combine all ingredients together, while misting some olive oil (you need barely anything!) and cracking a little pepper in. That\u2019s it. This serves 5-7.<\/p>\n
