Spicy Soba Salad and a Favorite Taco Salad

Love soba noodles so I knew I wanted to try this recipe from One-Dish Vegan

 Edamame, cucumbers, and green onions.

 This has a spicy, sweet dressing made with tamari (Bragg's), rice vinegar, sweet Asian chili sauce, sriracha, and agave. I left out the sesame oil and sesame seeds because of my allergies. I replaced the sesame oil with a little flax oil (it's only used to toss the soba noodles in after cooking.) 
I wanted to serve this for supper so I cooked up some Gardein Chik'n Scallopini and sliced it over the top of the salad. Yum! This tastes even better the next day after it has chilled.

I was craving this old stand-by taco salad we always used to eat which had hamburger and cheese in it so I just made a vegan version. 


I sauteed a bag of veggie crumbles with a little oil and some taco seasoning. That gets tossed with a head of chopped iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, sliced black olives, a can of kidney beans, and some Daiya cheddar shreds. 


Then, you crumble about a half a big bag of original Doritos corn tortilla chips and mix it in and top that with some good old Catalina dressing. Toss everything together and dig in. I even like it the next day after everything gets a little bit soggy.

Day 14 Cool Cucumber Salad~pg 83;Creamy Soygurt Dressing~pg 94

Vegan Culinary Institute La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:

Nice and refreshing salad. I usually don't like to leave the skin on my cucumbers but the English ones are nice and thin and don't taste bitter.  I noticed that Sophie at My Vegan Blog decided to drop out of our challenge. I'm sorry to see her go. It has been really great seeing how other people cook,eat and live vegan.
