Thousand Island DressingBy Life and Health NetworkYou probably read “Thousand Island Dressing” and immediately thought of salads. Well, California is home to an world-famous burger shop called In ‘N’ Out. They make simple burgers—toasted bun, burger, tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.—but they also slather on a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing instead of ketchup and mustard. I say all of this to tell anyone who’s tried and loved this burger that you can recreate this burger at home, but with all plant-based ingredients! This Thousand Island dressing is completely vegan (as long as you get vegan Worchestershire sauce) and is great on burgers, sandwiches, as dip, and of course, on salads.Agave-Orange Salad DressingBy Life and Health NetworkNot all salad dressings have to be oil-and-vinegar ones. This dressing will take “crisp and refreshing” salads to a whole new level, adding a citrusy, tangy, and slightly sweet note to any bed of greens. (I like it best on fresh chopped romaine, like the Romaine Citrus Salad).Romaine Citrus SaladBy Life and Health NetworkCount ‘em: 1-2-3. Three ingredients, plus an equally simple dressing equals a quick salad that works even for special occasions. Crisp, refreshing, and slightly tangy-sweet, this one is a newfound family favorite that I’m really excited to share with you.Butter Lettuce Salad with Candied PecansBy Life and Health NetworkDon’t let the long ingredients list scare you away! This lovely salad is one of my very favorites and completely worth the (minimal) trouble. And you can make a big batch of the candied pecans ahead of time!Broccolini & Grape SaladBy Life and Health NetworkBroccolini is a green vegetable similar to broccoli, but with smaller florets and longer thin stalks. Basically, it looks and tastes like a hybrid of broccoli and asparagus.Italian Chopped SaladBy Life and Health NetworkVegetarian antipasto ingredients like peppers and artichokes are sliced and diced to make this substantial salad.Black Bean, Corn, and Quinoa SaladBy Life and Health NetworkSo much more than a salad, this recipe is filled to the brim with nutrient-dense ingredients and packed full of bright flavor.Curried Tofu SaladBy Life and Health NetworkBest tofu salad without the eggs and mayonnaise! Who said vegan eats had to be tasteless? Still not convinced? Try this tofu salad out and you'll see for yourself why dressing up your ordinary tofu never got tastier.Simple Tofu SaladBy Life and Health NetworkYou’d think that egg salad, which is made with eggs and mayonnaise (which is also made with eggs) might be a little hard to make if you don’t eat, well, eggs. Turns out you’d be wrong! These tofu egg-less salads are surprisingly convincing and, dare I say, even better than the classic. What’s more, you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting for fear of it going bad. Rather, leave it covered in the refrigerator overnight to let the spices seep into the tofu and make it taste even better the next day.
