Mexican Cabbage Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag shredded cabbage (available at Trader Joes)
  • 2 handfuls chopped arugula or spinach
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 ½ cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 stalk chopped chives
  • 2 or more avocados, diced
  • Black pepper and lemon juice to taste

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss until vegetables are fully coated in lemon juice. Serve chilled.

Indian Cucumber Salad

This super easy salad is served as a side dish with Indian food, but you can also eat it as a main dish! For variety, you can also add sliced radish and jalapeños

Ingredients:

  • 3 fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 3 Persian cucumbers, diced
  • Juice of 1-2 limes or lemons to suit your taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ onion, chopped (optional)

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix! Serve chilled

Almond Milk

  • Soak 1/2 cup of almonds in water and some Himalayan sea salt overnight.
  • Remove the skins, and rinse
  • Blend the almonds and 2 cups of water in a high-speed blender (like the Vitamix) for 90 seconds. That’s it. I use it for creamer when I make coffee, and when making chai I just add more water.

Most people blend the unshelled almonds and then strain in a nut bag, but it takes too long in my opinion. And I like it thicker anyways

Thai Brocolli Slaw Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag organic broccoli slaw from Trader Joes
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • ¼ cup Thai peanut dressing from Trader Joes (may at more or less to taste)
  • 1 ½ cups chopped cabbage (available at Trader Joes)
  • 1 cup edamame

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with dressing

Smoked Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

This soup is easy! It’s great on its own as a light meal, as a side dish, or poured over chips or steamed broccoli like nacho cheese!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cauliflower cut into chunky florets
  • 2 tbsp. Lime juice
  • ½ tomato, chopped
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 1-2 dried red chili peppers or ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp chipotle powder
  • Black pepper and salt to taste
  • 4 tbsp. Nutritional yeast
  • Water
  • 1/2 cup raw soaked cashews (soak 6 hrs., rinse and discard water) or 6-8 oz. tofu

Optional ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup vegan cheese (shredded or use vegan parmesan)
  • 3 drops liquid smoke

Place cauliflower into a large sauce pan over high heat, cover with water. Water should only be about ½ inch above cauliflower (If you add too much water, the soup will be thin. If you use less water, it will come out thick like nacho cheese).

Add remaining ingredients:  lime juice, tomato, onion, red pepper, chipotle powder, black pepper, salt, and yeast into saucepan and cook until water boils. Then turn heat down to medium, place lid partially covered on pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.

Turn off heat, place entire mixture in Vitamix, or high-speed blender. Add soaked cashews or tofu (or both!). This will give it the cheesy and creamy texture. Blend until pureed. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Optional: You may add the vegan cheese and/or liquid smoke then blend again, for enhanced flavor… but the soup will be great either way. If you don’t have all the ingredients, you can always substitute, or omit. You can also adjust the amounts of tomato, onion, and spice to suit your taste. Make it your own!
