Vegan Seven Layer Salad
Ingredients
(Serves 6 – 8)
- 1 package vegan bacon
- Iceberg lettuce (I used half a large head of lettuce), chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
- Vegan mayonnaise, enough to cover the salad.
- Shredded vegan cheese, enough to sprinkle over the top of the salad
- Salt and Pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegan bacon according to package instructions, crumble and set aside.
- In this order, layer lettuce, onion, celery and peas, in this order in a large bowl (a glass bowl is fun, you see it!). I added a little salt on the peas, but this is optional.
- Spread vegan mayonnaise over the peas, just enough to cover the salad.
- Add a layer of shredded vegan cheese and add fresh ground pepper (optional) to taste.
- When ready to serve, add the final layer: crumbled Smart Bacon.
- Even though a seven-layer salad looks cool, I tend to toss it together before serving.
