Simple Salad Sprinkle

Salad Sprinkles adds a little extra to a salad and has an array of versatility in galley.  This one I created from sesame seeds, linseed, sunflower seeds and almond but the possibilities are endless.  Toast the seeds and nuts so they are very toasty but not burnt of course this is so that a little sprinkle gives great toasty flavour impact to the food item you are sprinkling.
