This is a great salad, though because of the mustard, not quite 100% raw recipe. If anyone knows of mustard substitutes, let me know! I like eating this for lunches or light dinners. I don’t have a picture yet, but I’ll upload one next time I make it!

Ingredients

1 pear, sliced
1 handful sprouts
1 desired serving greens
1 teaspoon spicy mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar (apple cider)
1 tablespoon nut milk
1 teaspoon oil
sprinkle almonds or hazelnuts, chopped, roughly

Recipe Directions

Mix oil, nut milk, mustard, and vinegar together- if you find it too bitter add a dash of agave or live honey.

Assemble salad greens generously on a plate, and spread sprouts over them in the center. It might look something like a bird’s nest. Arrange pear slices in a pinwheel . Sprinkle with chopped nuts and drizzle with dressing. Voila!

Smaller portions with 1/2 a pear can be made for a side salad for entertaining. It is very visually attractive.

Or maybe a drizzle of a good balsamic vinegar?

Perhaps an avocado mayo instead of the mustard?

This sounds really yummy and simple. If I substituted with mustard seed, should I also add some cayenne since it's supposed to be spicy mustard?

Hmm, I will definitely try the ground mustard seeds next time- maybe with some homemade nut milk to make it a creamy mustard, and figure out whatever the large grain spice in dijon mustard is XD

Many co-ops carry ground mustard seeds. If you make mustard right before you use it it will be spicy naturally. Similar to soaking the tannins out of almonds, the longer mustard is in water the milder it gets as it breaks down. It is the opposite of ground wasabi, which requires time to develop it's flavor. Ever had it without greens?

You could always add ground mustard seed instead. There are a couple of mustard recipes on this site.
