Vegan BLT Salad

When it comes to salad, everyone has their favorite combos, and it seems like the perfect dish to express one's own unique flair.  If you're getting bored, why not change up the presentation a little?  This is a fun play on the great American classic- the B.L.T. sandwich.


Made with the quickest tempeh bacon I ever made, sliced tomatoes, onions, and drizzled with a spicy creamy mustard dressing.

Quick Tempeh Bacon:

Slice tempeh very thin.  Fry in a thin layer of oil on a non-stick skillet until deep golden and crisp on both sides.  As you are frying, sprinkle with salt.  Transfer to a single layer on a plate.  Brush on a thin layer of your favorite BBQ sauce while still hot.  Let cool a bit before adding to salad.

Mustard Dressing:

1 part mustard to 2 parts vegan mayo.  Add a little agave to sweeten to taste.  Thin with a little cold water if needed.  Maybe a little apple cider vinegar to increase tartness.

TIP:
If you don't want to serve this with a knife and fork, pile everything onto a single leaf, fold up, and eat with your hands!
