Micro Greens Salad

Micro greens are the shoots of salad vegetables and spices such as radish, beetroot, fenugreek, mustard etc., picked just after the first leaves have developed. They are tiny, delicate greens that add color, texture and flavor to a variety of foods as a garnish and are big on nutrition and flavor. This is a refreshing salad made with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, apple and cherry tomatoes. The micro greens can be sprinkled on any colorful salad of your choice.
