The most common way to enjoy microgreens is raw, on top of your meal or mixed into a salad where you’ll get that texture, color, crunch, and fresh veggie goodness. But, there are other ways to incorporate microgreens into your daily routine.
Enter the Simplest Ever Microgreens Sauce. This sauce is so versatile, it will compliment vegan, omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and carnivore-lover menus.
Kind of like a Chimichurri sauce, this sauce combines microgreens, olive oil, garlic, and salt/pepper. You can also add nuts or seeds to give the sauce some crunch too.
