Caesar Salad

Let’s pretend I didn’t see the snow that fell today, and say that it’s spring and time for salads! A classic Caesar never gets old. Here’s Romaine lettuce, cucumber, “bacon” (thinly sliced eggplant fried crispy with oil, smoked paprika powder and salt), fried soy bits, avocado and bread croutons. And then I literally drenched the whole thing in this delicious dressing!

Dressing
2 dl soaked cashews
3 cloves of garlic, sauteed
1 tsp soy sauce
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp capers, drained
1 dl water
1/4 nori sheet

Mix all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until very smooth and creamy. Add generously to your Caesar salad. Store any leftovers in a jar in the fridge and use within 2-3 days.

* mix of jasmine and black rice
* sliced mushrooms with garlic and spinach

Falafel & Roast Potato Bowl

I hadn’t had falafel in ages, and I got such a craving for it! I made the loveliest bowl with falafel (not homemade – I really need to start doing that!), oven roasted potatoes with a spicy rub, cucumber, avocado, purple cabbage coleslaw and spiralized carrots. Already dreaming of making this again!

Sweet Potato & Avocado Bowl

How is it that salads taste even better served in a bowl? This was a particularly good one that I made last week. Whole bulgur (my favourite grain!), roasted sweet potato wedges, sugar snaps, blueberries, avocado, green baby leaves, honeydew melon and a handful of almonds. I drizzled it with a tahini lemon dressing, and it was heavenly!

Greek Salad Bowl

How about a bowl packed with flavours that will take you straight back to those warm summer days? I’ve always loved Greek Salad, and here’s a big bowl of all the yummy things – cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, red onions (pickled because I don’t like raw), baby spinach, avocado, cooked whole bulghur and of course vegan feta and tzatziki.

My favourite vegan feta cheese is one that I make myself with extra firm tofu marinated in water, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt and oregano. You can find a step by step guide and measurements in my Story highlights. I can highly recommend @yipin.se tofu – not sponsored, just a happy customer!

Korean Rice Bowl

I was inspired by @plantndsoulkitchen to make a Korean rice bowl with a really tasty slaw. I found a more exact recipe from @erinireland, and I can tell you that we will be making this again soon. Loved the flavours! We used seitan instead of soy mince, which worked great.
.
In a small bowl, combine 0,75 dl soy sauce or tamari with 0,75 dl brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger and a pinch of chili flakes.
Sauté 1 finely chopped onion and then add 200 g seitan or other meat substitute. When cooked and cripsy, add the sauce and cook for another minute.
Serve hot with rice, avocado and a slaw made with red cabbage, baby spinach, olive oil, miso paste and salt. Sprinkle the bowl with chopped peanuts and black sesame seeds.

Avocado & Chickpea Rice Bowl

Just fill a bowl with some carbs and lots of veggies, and I’m happy! In this one I’ve put white and black rice, lightly steamed broccoli, cucumber, Shawarma spiced crispy chickpeas, pickled red onion, vegan mayo and sesame seeds. Can,t really go wrong when the avocado is that perfectly ripe, am I right?

Guacamole Burger

Happy #veganuary friends! I remember thinking last year that it seemed nearly impossible to eat a vegan diet for a whole month. I didn’t eat meat, but thought it was too complicated to replace dairy, eggs and fish. But a thought had formed, and I gradually removed all animal products. Since mid February I’ve eaten a fully plantbased diet. And it’s not hard at all. No, on the contrary – it has really awakened my interest in cooking and made me try so many new dishes and products! Are you ready to take the leap yet?

The best way is to start simple. Just replace your ordinary beef burger with one of the many vegan brands available. I like the Swedish brand @anamma_sverige, and there are many other good ones out there. Serve it in a bun with lettuce, pickled red onion and obscene amounts of guacamole, and a side of oven baked sweet potato fries. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that to eat vegan.
