Plant-Protein Powered Salad

This meal is a great example of how you can optimize plant-based nutrition in a salad. As you probably know, you can get lots of protein from nuts and seeds. Walnuts have 4 grams of protein per ounce and come with other essential nutrients like fiber, essential fatty acids, and phytonutrients. Tahini has almost 3 grams of protein per tablespoon plus calcium, copper and selenium. Amaranth is a pseudograin with more protein than any other grain at 9 grams per cooked cup. And, kale has boatloads of other nutrients like beta carotene, iron, and calcium. This salad is nourishing and satisfying!
