Salad for breakfast, why not?
Here’s a breakfast themed salad I often have (or some variation of it) when I have zucchini on hand (which is, as you know, whenever they happen to be on sale).
I think of it more like a slaw, since the zucchini & carrots are grated (it’s a medium grate, not fine or too big).
The hemp seeds add some protein & omega-3’s, & more importantly, some crunch.
Pair this breakfast slaw with your favorite smoothie recipe (there are so many!), a small bowl of oatmeal, or brown rice cakes topped with mashed avocado (one of my fave things to eat, any time of day!).
Easy Breakfast Slaw

Toss all ingredients, except for the hemp seeds. Sprinkle some hemp seeds over top of each serving.
