Introduce the recipe from the Wicked Healthy Cookbook.

Show the cookbook and discuss its contents briefly.

Decide to make a salad instead of a different dish due to missing ingredients.

Substitute kale with lettuce and grapes with strawberries due to availability.

Soak and activate sunflower and sesame seeds instead of toasting them.

Gather ingredients: lettuce, strawberries, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, cilantro, red bell pepper, half an avocado, green onions, sea salt, fermented lemon juice, Brazil nuts, and sprouts.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, strawberries, red bell pepper, fermented lemon juice, green onions, half an avocado, and sea salt.

Cream the avocado gently onto the greens to add fat.

Mix in the sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and hemp seeds, reserving some for garnish.

Add Brazil nuts and sprouts to the mixture.

Toss everything together until well combined.
