This bowl is packed with so many nourishing ingredients, you'll be glowing in no time! It's filled with a homemade "tuna" salad, homemade sun-dried tomato hummus, sliced avocado, hemp and pepita seeds, and creamy lemon-dill dressing to top it all off. When you need a major energy boost,
this salad is for you! Feel free to use your own hummus and dressing to save time.
The Nourish and Glow Miracle Bowl
Ingredients
2-3 cups Mixed Power Greens (or green of choice)
1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/3 cup julienned carrots or beets
1 green onion, chopped
Half avocado, sliced
1/4 cup Sun-dried Tomato Hummus (see recipe below)
Large scoop of Perfected Chickpea Salad (from OSG cookbook) or Flaked Almond Tuna Salad (see
recipe below)
1/2 tablespoon hemp seeds
1/2 tablespoon pepita seeds
Creamy Lemon Dill Dressing (see recipe below)
Directions
1. Add greens into a large bowl. Layer on your desired toppings and drizzle on the dressing and garnish with hemp/pepita seeds.
Sun Dried Tomato Hummus
A quick and easy flavorful hummus that comes together in minutes! If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, feel free to make it without.
Ingredients
1 small garlic clove
2 tablespoons oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
3 tablespoons water
drizzle of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt or pink Himalayan Sea salt, or to taste
Directions
1. Mince garlic in a food processor.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the salt) and process until smooth. Add salt to taste and process again until combined.
Tip:
For a super-smooth hummus, pop off the chickpea skins (and discard) before beginning.
Creamy Lemon Dill Dressing
This creamy lemon-dill dressing comes together in seconds and it's such a fresh compliment to a spring salad. If you aren't a dill fan,
feel free to leave it out. It's still tasty either way! I recommend making this dressing the day before you plan to use it (or at least a few hours before if you can) because it thickens up in the fridge when chilled (however, it's not absolutely necessary to chill it first). This dressing is adapted from Vegan Yumminess.
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked
3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I used 4 tbsp)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh dill (see note)
1/2 small garlic clove
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
1. Soak the cashews in water for 2-8 hours before starting (to soften). You can skip this step if you have a Vitamix. Drain and rinse cashews before starting.
2. Add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Adjust ingredients to taste if desired.
Notes: You can use dried dill weed instead of fresh dill. Add it in small amounts at a time, to taste (I would start with 1/4-1/2 teaspoon and add from there).
I prefer my dressing tangy, so I opt for more lemon juice. For a less tangy dressing, you can reduce the amount I used or you can add a touch of sweetener to taste.
Flaked Almond “Tuna” Salad
Rather than using tuna fish to create this salad, my plant-based version uses raw almonds which are soaked until plump and then processed until flaked in texture. Once the flaked almonds are mixed with some vegan mayo, Dijon, celery, green onion, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper, it turns into a creamy, fresh, and crunchy topping for a salad, crackers, sandwich, or wrap.
Ingredients
1 cup (155 g) raw almonds, soaked
1 celery stalk (80 g), finely chopped
2 green onions (30 g), finely chopped
1 garlic clove (6 g), minced
3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 mL) vegan mayo, to taste
1 teaspoon (5 mL) Dijon mustard
2 to 3 teaspoons (10 to 15 mL) fresh lemon juice, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of kelp granules (optional, lends a "fishy" flavor)
Directions
1. Soak almonds in a bowl of water for 3-9 hours until plump. Drain and rinse well.
2. Add drained almonds into a food processor (there's no need to peel the almond skins unless you want to) and process until finely chopped. It should look a bit like flaked tuna. Place into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Add the chopped celery, green onion, garlic, mayo, mustard, and lemon into the bowl. Stir well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of kelp granules if desired.
4. Serve on top of a salad or lettuce wrap, or in a sandwich or wrap. Refrigerate leftover salad for up to 3 days.
Tip:
Make it soy-free: Use soy-free vegan mayonnaise, such as Vegenaise brand.
