Have been loving it so I was like let me show the folks another really delicious salad recipe that is packed with protein it is delicious I shared this in a previous video but I wanted it to have its own video on my channel I’m going to show you guys everything that I’ll be

Day and the goal of this is for me to help you on your plant-based Journey share different meal ideas tips tricks advice all the good things to help you make your journey as successful as possible I’m very excited for this salad y better come get y one of these it’s a
Taco salad the dressing one thing I’m going to do is put y’all on to a good dressing okay so let’s get into everything that you’ll need to use this is what we’re going to be using for our homemade Pico situation have a jalapeno lime a tomato red onion and we’re also
Going to bring over some cilantro and then over here this is going to be our salad dressing so we have some dairyfree plain unsweetened yogurt I have some garlic cloves we also have some cilantro half of a jalapeno avocado and lime our leafy greens consist of Dino kale as well as
Some roma lettuce and the protein in the salad is coming from so these are ground pea protein crumbles these are really good and they peack a lot of protein this is hemp seeds this is we’re just going to sprinkle this on top have some black beans here that we’ll season up as
Well and then for the toppings I have some vegan nacho cheese chips as well as some crispy jalapenos so I’m actually starting off with the Pico so this is just what I’ve always use in my Pico maybe you have another Pico recipe that you want to share and if you do be sure
To drop it in the comment section y’all this salad is so good I’m having it for lunch today which is why I’m even more excited because I know it’s going to be delicious we just have our lime right here for the jalapeno you can make this as spicy as you would absolutely like
For it to be I don’t need too much spice a good amount of the spice is within the seeds so so if you are not a fan of too much spice or just spice at all you can definitely leave them out I’m just going to use half of one jalapeno go ahead and
Cut up our cilantro a red onion going with half of a tomato our lime salt black pepper and garlic powder so that’s in the fridge let’s do these pea protein crumbles y’all I’ve used these crumbles on so many things so there are two brands that I’ve used when
It comes to pea protein crumbles I’ve used plant boss as well as Noble PL I’ll link both of those in the description box here are the pea protein crumbles so they come dehydrated they’re very hard so you have to rehydrate them with water or broth I do want to mention if you
Don’t want to use the pea protein crumbles you can also do this with Tempe you can you can do it with tofu I’ve done it with mushroom and walnut me it was delicious or you can even just use store bought plant-based grounds I enjoy using the pea protein grounds it has a
Really good amount of protein I want to say 1/3 cup of this pea protein ground has about 15 GS of protein I’m actually using half a cup cuz I want to get a little extra boost of protein and this is just hot water as you can see it has
Color because it has those seasonings in there I am going to add my own seasonings as well we’re just going to let this sit going to cover it with a paper towel so for the dressing I have some dairyfree plain unsweetened yogurt I really like garlic so I’m going
To go in with three garlic cloves have half of a lime half of a jalapeno with the seeds removed handful of the cilantro half of an avocado some salt and black pepper I’m going to add some plant milk to thin it out and now that this is done we’re
Going to put it in the fridge and move on to cooking our pea protein so here the pea protein crumbles rehydrated there is still a good amount of water left which I don’t mind because it’s just going to cook out pretty much and then we’re going to season it up so I
Like to season it with this C Foods taco seasoning you can do you know a homemade taco seasoning if you want this is just easier for me and I don’t have to go through everything that I have in here and so while the pea protein crumbles are cooking on the stove have
Black beans you can honestly just add the black beans on there as is we just wanted to have an abundance of flavor because no boring salads okay no no boring salads lime cilantro there’s a lot of cilantro in this salad so you don’t need too much and then the last
Thing I’m going to do is season it with some more of this ciete Foods taco seasoning shaky shake and now the very last thing to do is cut up our leafy greens as mentioned I’m going in with Dino kale as well as Roma lettuce you
Can use arugula if you like or just any leafy green that you Prefer this is going to help it be a bit more digestible you can also do this with lemon or even olive oil so you may be thinking what else can I do with those pea protein crumbles if I end up using them I’ve used those in
Tacos I’ve used it in taquitos which I love taquitos you can use it in spaghetti a pasta I would say anywhere where you you’ve used like a plant-based ground or ground beef or ground turkey or something like that you can substitute those pea protein crumbles
And use it in its place there are a number of ways that you can actually use it we’re going to go in with our leafy greens black beans pea protein then I’m going to go in with our Pico vegan nacho cheese chips so I have some vegan cheese
I only have slices so I just layered them on top of each other and I’m going to zest the vegan cheese on top this brand of vegan cheese is V life but I also enjoy eating follow your heart and I want to say mocos has some that I
Think is pretty good or if you want to get like the whole block of vegan cheese DIA has a really good one which like the newer Dia vegan cheese is really good and then also I want to say it’s called good planet has a good one I’ll link it
In the description box so you can check it out if you want to give the vegan cheese a try now these are completely optional these are jalapeno like crispy jalapeno bits I picked these up from Trader Joe’s I’m going to add it just for a little extra oomph I have our
Dressing right here looks Yum Yum Yum and tastes good too I’m going to go in with a little bit more Pico then the very last thing I’m going to do is sprinkle some more of that taco seasoning on top all right our salad is done and it looks delicious I’ve had
