- 2 tbsp sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp maple syrup or honey
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a skillet with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Add shallots and sauté them for 5 minutes. → You can also use them raw in the salad, but sautéing makes them milder and more digestible!
