When you’re in a lunch rut, sometimes you need something spicy to dig yourself out. May I suggest this Hearty Vegan Taco Salad Recipe? It’s fresh, crunchy, and satisfying all at once. If I can be so bold, this might be one of the best taco salads I’ve ever eaten – period. If you’re ready to meal prep, let’s get into this five-star salad that will leave you craving more!
This Hearty Vegan Taco Salad couldn’t be easier to prepare. If you’re handy with a kitchen knife, you’ll be set with salads for the week in no time. The only cooking required is sautéing some spiced tofu, which provides the protein you need to feel satisfied all afternoon.
Once your tofu is drained and pressed, crumble it into a bowl with your hands and toss with taco seasoning. Add the tofu to a hot skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, until it’s browned and warmed through.
The remainder of the salad assembly is simple. Mix your black beans and corn together in a bowl and toss with lime juice, avocado oil, and salt. Store any leftovers in the fridge for tossing into future salads throughout the week.
Chopped romaine makes up the base of this Hearty Vegan Taco Salad. Top with the black bean and corn mixture, spiced tofu, tomato, avocado, and of course, a huge dollop of Plant Perks Vegan Sour Cream. It adds a super satisfying tangy flavor and creamy texture! I love adding a handful of crispy tortilla strips to my taco salad for another layer of crunch. This is one vegan lunch I know you’ll come back to again and again. I hope it spices up your mid-day routine!
Peace.Love.Plants.
