Vegan Caesar Salad

November 20, 2012 by epicureanvegan

Vegan Caesar Salad -- Epicurean VeganI’m thrilled to have Caesar salad again! (I’m still waiting for the perfect vegan Parmesan cheese to hit the shelves . . . but this salad is still delicious without it). This recipe makes about 2-1/2 cups, so feel free to halve it. I just didn’t want to have 1/2 a box of silk tofu leftover and forgotten in the fridge. I even used 6 hearts of romaine and still had a lot of dressing left!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cloves garlic, cut into pieces
12-oz pkg. firm silken tofu
3 Tbs lemon juice
1/8 C olive oil
2 Tbs capers
4 tsp caper juice/brine
1/2 tsp mustard powder
Dash of sugar
Salt and pepper
6 Romaine hearts, chopped
Croutons

DIRECTIONS:
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth. Use enough dressing to just coat the romaine and serve with croutons. It’s that easy! Enjoy!

Crispy “Chicken” Salad

April 25, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Crispy "Chicken" Salad -- Epicurean VeganThis salad is a staple around my house and each time I make it, I never learn. I eat way too much of it. It’s just so damn good. Not to mention, easy to make. Bake some meatless chicken nuggets and throw some fresh veggies together and you have a healthy meal in minutes.

INGREDIENTS:
1 bag Boca nuggets, baked and diced
Romaine lettuce, torn
Fresh spinach, torn
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 cucumber, sliced, then quartered
Vegan pepper jack cheese and/or cheddar, shredded
Green onions, sliced
Tortilla chips, broken up
Vegan Ranch dressing:
1 C Vegenaise
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
6 Tbs almond milk
1/2 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
I tend to put everything in separate bowls and let everyone create their own salads. To make the dressing, just whisk everything together in a small bowl and transfer to a pourable container. Refrigerate the leftovers. Enjoy!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
