MY BIG FAB GREEK SALAD
WITH FAUX FETA
One of my truly favorite salads! Yes you can choose to be dairy free and still enjoy a Greek salad. Making a vegan feta easy and so good. While there are lots of delish vegan cheese Artisans now - most are made of nuts and this feta isn't. The marinade infuses a Greek taste into the faux feta that is so divine.
Make this as soon as you can for I think you're gonna love it!

Do your best to find lemon grass, Thai basil. and kaffir lime leaves for they have such a definitive 'Thai' taste. Typically the mangos are green in traditional salads yet I prefer using 'just ripe' mangos.

w/ SPICY SUNBUTTER THAI SAUCE
Recipes/Pictures property of Teri Gentes – permission required to republish
Fresh salad spring rolls are such a treat and truly come together easily. You can fill them with most anything you enjoy and use up any odds and ends on hand. Just be sure to include some vibrant herbs such as mint, Thai basil or cilantro. Often they are made with seafood or simply veggies alone yet these are stuffed with tempeh making the rolls hearty enough to be your main course. Especially when drizzled with the thick Thai sauce. My suggestion is to pair them with miso soup or a mango n mint salsa.
