Here’s how boring I am: my
favorite vegetable is lettuce. And yes, there is lettuce under this mountain of
vegetables. Do you see that I used some raw veg and also some sautéed veg?
Those are sautéed portabella mushrooms
there in the middle of the salad.
What make a big salad like
this special is a homemade dressing. I used two of my favorites and mixed them
together. (That’s a special secret – try mixing dressings, maybe a creamy one
and a vinaigrette, for a new flavor.)
1 C vegan mayo ( I love Earth Balance brand)
½ t garlic powder
½ t onion powder
½ t dried marjoram
2 T dried parsley
¼ t black pepper
1 t soy milk, or more if needed
Whisk together and chill well
Basic Vinaigrette
1 T red wine vinegar
1 T red wine vinegar
1 t lemon juice
3 T olive oil
1 t Dijon mustard
1 t honey or agave
½ t dried tarragon
Whisk together and chill
The ranch dressing sounds good and all, but I can't get past the fact that anyone likes lettuce that much!
ReplyDeleteMmm these sound really good! I haven't used marjoram yet, could you say what it tastes like.
ReplyDeleteMarjoram is kind of lemony...it's light and unusual....a great secret ingredient.
