Salad fixings

I love this salad because it satisfies my snack cravings, while also offering tons of vegetables.

Mushrooms:

After sauteing them they may resemble chicken.

To Make:

  • Chop and saute shiitake mushrooms in a pan with olive oil.

  • Add seasonings. I use onion and garlic powder, paprika, a no salt seasoning blend, and Italian seasonings. Saute for about 4 minutes.

  • Chop your romaine and spinach leaves and add to a salad bowl.

  • Pop in carrots, 1 clove of garlic, red onion, red or green bell pepper, avocado, peperoncini, and cherry tomatoes.

  • Add your mushrooms to the top of the salad.

  • Sprinkle plantain chips on top. I break them in half to make them bite sized.

  • Top with additional Italian seasonings and garlic powder (if desired)

  • My dressing of choice: Primal Kitchen’s plant-based caesar dressing.

Dressing:

You can find Primal Kitchen’s plant-based caesar dressing at most local grocery stores, including Sprouts.

Enjoy!

By the way, plantain is packed with iron, fiber, and magnesium. Good for eyes, skin, brain and digestion, even in chip form! The seasonings and peppers give it a flavorful kick. Feel free to adjust them as desired for taste.
