• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeds removed, and diced
• ½ cup ground golden flax seeds

• 1/3 tsp. Celtic sea salt
• ¾ tsp. ground turmeric

Ingredients for the salad:

• Frisee, or you can use spinach leaves or Romaine lettuce
• Alfalfa sprouts
• Cucumbers
• Grape tomatoes

Ingredients for citrus salad dressing:

• juice of 1 grapefruit (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
• ¼ tsp. Celtic sea salt
• 4 Tbs. raw almond butter, or ¼ cup olive oil

Eggs: Prepare orange eggs by placing macadamia nuts in a food processor, and processing them until crushed, then add orange pepper and 2 tsp. lime juice, and continue blending until you get more or less homogenous orange mix. Add salt and ground flax seed, and mix once again. Transfer to a small bowl to thicken for a few minutes while you are preparing the red and yellow colored eggs the same way. Salad dressing: Blend all ingredients together in a blender or food processor until well mixed. Transfer to a bowl. Salad assembly: Arrange the chosen greens on a big plate, add cut cucumbers and grape tomatoes. Construct a nest out of alfalfa sprouts. Shape a few “eggs” out of the colorful mixes you prepared, and place them in the nest. Serve with the citrus dressing on the side. Note: Preparation time is 40 minutes, plus soaking time.
