Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 8 slices tempeh bacon
- 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Then, chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Peel and pit the avocado. Chop it into chunks and add it to the salad.
In a small pan over medium heat, cook the tempeh bacon slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are crispy. Once cooked, remove from the pan, let them cool slightly, and then crumble or chop them into small pieces. Add to the salad.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan BLT Salad.
