Hearty enough to be a meal on its own, this salad is beautifully composed and complex, with basil, smooth avocado chunks and crunchy bits of celery and almond.
You probably read “Thousand Island Dressing” and immediately thought of salads. Well, California is home to an world-famous burger shop called In ‘N’ Out. They make simple burgers—toasted bun, burger, tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.—but they also slather on a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing instead of ketchup and mustard. I say all of this to tell anyone who’s tried and loved this burger that you can recreate this burger at home, but with all plant-based ingredients! This Thousand Island dressing is completely vegan (as long as you get vegan Worchestershire sauce) and is great on burgers, sandwiches, as dip, and of course, on salads.
Bulgur is a quick-cooking type of whole wheat, commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking, that has been cleaned, parboiled, dried and ground. This ground bulgur “meat” is a wonderful stand-in for ground beef in dishes like tacos, chili, casseroles, and “meat” sauces. One tip: It works especially well in our Corn & Green Chile Enchiladas. If taco seasoning isn’t for you, try mixing in another of your favorite seasonings!
Quinoa is a wonderful, wonderful seed and a complete protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids. Most people tend to add quinoa to a savory lunch or dinner meal but we’re turning that on its head by combining it with sweet ingredients for a healthy breakfast.
