Vegan Taco Salad
Vegan Taco Salad combines chopped romaine lettuce tossed with lime juice, mixed with a zesty blend of diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, black beans, corn kernels, and thinly sliced radishes. Sliced avocado adds creaminess, and the salad is served with a flavorful taco salad dressing, optionally plated in a crispy tortilla bowl. The salad layers fresh vegetables, herbs, and legumes to create a vibrant, textured dish with bright citrus notes.
