Sprinkle mix

This sprinkle mix offers a creative and decorative way to top salads, sandwiches and other creations. It adds nutty, sweet and sour notes that complement other flavours in a dish. Think of it as a savoury version of a classic sweet sprinkle mix with a lot of character. Use this recipe as a guideline and experiment with your favourite seeds or dried algae. If dried vinegar powder is hard to come by, skip it in the mix and add some lemon juice to your dish to increase acidity.
