True Food Salad

Our own recipe

5 stars

I ordered True Food's seasonal salad a month or so ago and thought to myself -- "This is delicious" and "I can make this!"

The ingredients basically are the following:

• Mixed greens
• Honey-roasted carrots (olive oil, honey, salt, pepper)
• Roasted cauliflower (olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper)
• Baked tofu (olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, fine sea salt, pepper)
• Feta cheese
• Dates
• Pistachios
• Tahini apple cider dressing (I found a Sriracha version - use less apple cider vinegar, though)

I found recipes for the different components linked above. We served this with falafel. DELISH!!!

Really good weekday dish. We cut out a LOT of steps to make this easier on us as well as healthier. Served with a simple side salad

Main ingredients: white corn tortillas, black beans, white onion, garlic, queso fresco, epazote or oregano, bay leaf, vegetable oil, rendered pork fat or bacon grease, dried avocado leaves, Kosher salt, store bought salsa

Rajas variation: poblano chiles, white onion, garlic, vegetable oil, dried oregano, Kosher salt

Chorizo variation: chorizo, eggs, vegetable oil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:

• Used canned black beans
• Did NOT fry the beans
• Added some salsa macha we already have on top 
• Heated up some healthy Siete taco shells
• Roasted the poblanos in the oven
• Used plant-based chorizo

Wow - you would not miss the meat in this dish. Really great deep flavor from the mushrooms. Had this with toast.

Ingredients: Christmas lima beans, portobello mushrooms, dried porcini mushrooms, carrots, pearl onions, shallot, garlic, flour, thyme, dry red wine, white miso, soy sauce, tomato paste, bay leaves, parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, table salt, pepper

Tips/Notes:

• Used a can of butter beans and a can of cannellini beans since we couldn't find Christmas lima beans (next time, use 3 cans) -- and so skipped the first 2 steps in the recipe 
• Used baby bellas instead of portobellos
• Used chopped white onion instead of pearl onions
• Could add barley to it next time
