Sprouts Cashew Nasturtium combination makes a beautiful salad mix for festive occasions. This entirely raw salad requires simply mixing and tossing the ingredients with salt and a little olive oil or pumpkin seed oil, then garnishing with flowers before serving.

I prepared this dish for Terraviva at a friend and colleague's vegetarian restaurant in Brasilia, and the clients loved the colorful combination of nasturtium. You can quickly toss this salad in a bowl, creating a delightful party presentation with vibrant colors and pleasing appearance, capable of serving 25–30 people.

The nasturtium flowers are not merely decorative—they add a peppery, slightly spicy flavor that complements the nutty cashews and sweet raisins. Raw sprouts maintain their maximum nutritional potency, providing living enzymes that support digestion and vitality.

Nutritional Benefits: Mung bean sprouts are rich in vitamin C, folate, and protein, supporting cellular regeneration and energy production. Cashews provide healthy monounsaturated fats and magnesium for heart health, while goji berries contribute antioxidants and amino acids. This entirely raw combination maintains maximum enzyme activity and vital energy.
