Ingredients

  • For the vegan raw salad:
  • 3 oz Organic spring mix and baby spinach (Half & Half Mix) or other fresh greens of your choice
  • 1 medium to large cucumber washed and sliced into rounds
  • 1 large watermelon radish washed, sliced into rounds, and then quartered
  • 12 or more grape tomatoes washed
  • ½ to 1 cup soy feta cheese dairy-free almond feta cheese, tofu, or other of your choice, crumbled or chunked (Cooked quinoa also makes a great substitute for vegans. If you are not vegan, you can use regular feta cheese, shaved Parmesan cheese or other of your choice)
  • A few leaves of fresh basil to garnish optional
  • For the Citrus Vinaigrette:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil of your choice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange or lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave nectar (if you are not vegan you can use a pinch of sugar instead if desired)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place greens on a serving plate, and arrange the other vegetables on top of the greens as follows: cucumber rounds along the upper-rim of the plate, quartered radish distributed on both sides, and tomatoes along the lower-rim.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette by placing all ingredients into a small jar with lid securely fastened and then shaking well until homogeneous. Alternatively, place juice, salt, pepper, and maple syrup into a small bowl and whisk while pouring in the oil slowly. Whisk well until mixture is homogeneous.
  3. This vegan raw salad should be dressed right before serving, or served on the side. Yield: 2 if served as main dish, or 4 if served as a side dish.

Notes

  • Suggestions: Depending on your diet or needs/likes, roasted nuts, hard-boiled eggs, or shrimp/fish can be added to the salad or simply used as a substitution for cheese.
