Ozymadias Salad

This recipe is kind of like taking the best bits of Caesar salad and combining it with the best bits of Waldord salad to make one yummy salad. It calls for "tempeh bacon" and the recipe for this can be found elsewhere on this site.

Another recipe that is vegan (therefore egg and dairy free) as well as gluten free.

Ozymandias Salad

Ingredients:

Salad:

4 cups of salad greens (any that you like)
1 cup walnuts (broken up into chunks)
2 cups pears (sliced)
1 cup tempeh bacon (broken into bite-sized pieces)

Dressing:

1&1/2 cups silken tofu
1 Tbsp capers
1 Tbsp caper liquid
1/3 cup roasted garlic
1/3 cup flaxseed oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp umesu* (optional)
2 tsp Herbamare seasoning salt (or whatever you have at home)

Method:

1. Place the salad leaves on a platter, and sprinkle the pears and walnuts over the top.

2. Blend the dressing ingredients together until thick and smooth. Chill in the fridge.

3. Just before serving, drizzle the dressing liberally over the salad and sprinkle the tempeh "bacon" on top.


* Umesu is available in Asian specialty stores. It is a Japanese plum vinegar made from umeboshi. If you can get some, this recipe will thank you. If not, it doesn't really matter.
