Vegeterian Tips: When people think of Japanese food, they think of sushi, however sushi doesn t always have to be raw fish. Cucumber rolls are available on many menus, and if there is a sushi bar available, you can ask to try different types of vegetarian rolls, such as cucumber, cream cheese, and avocado, or perhaps vegetarian tempura rolls.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- Meuslix greens or assorted prepackaged organic lettuce
- fresh organic tomatoes
- canned kidney beans
- diced firm tofu (optional)
- seasonings / herbs
- fat-free organic dressing or balsamic vinaigrette
- cucumbers
- fresh artichokes (in vinegar)
- red onions
Directions:
First, open prepackaged lettuce mix of your choice. Add all
of your cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions. Also you can mix
the seasoning in as you prepare the appetizer instead of
waiting until it is done.
You can add sauted tofu as an extra if you”d like; dice
tofu into small pieces, add a little extra virgin olive oil
and herbs to add flavor. whala!!!
Drain canned kidney beans to remove all of the salt and
vegan sugars. You can add beans with sauted tofu too – I prefer
to just add the beans to my salad.
Next, take your artichokes- make sure they are peeled,
tender and have been soaking in vinegar. I usually buy the
ones that are already prepared in the jar. I add these to
my salad mix.
Afterwards, all ingredients should be mixed well.
I serve with toasted 100% whole wheat vegan pita bread w/ soy
margarine and sauted tofu on the side. This is one of my
favorite treats, hope you enjoy it too.
