These four super easy salads are a wonderful addition to a breakfast or brunch meal. They are different in taste & texture so they diversify the meal and add color! If you have unexpected guests, within the hour and with very little work you'll get to serve four different rich salads with your meal!
Garlici Carrots
Ingredients
Let's get shredding!
In a food processor, grate the carrots and place them in a bowl. Add the Vegenaise, garlic and lemon juice, and mix well.
Eggplants in tahini
Ingredients
Let's get grilling!
2 medium eggplants
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsps lemon juice
1 tbsp coarse salt
2 tbsps raw Tahini
For the eggplant, the best way to go is to grill it on a griller for an hour. The direct full-blown heat does the trick. Otherwise the eggplant accumulates fluids inside and it gets saggy and really affects the taste.
If you can't grill it, open fire on the stove works well (and it takes less time too - just get it done and soft on all sides), or you can bake it in the oven on 240 degrees C (put it there when the oven reaches the temp) for about an hour.
When it's completely soft and squishy, let it cool, and then remove the peel and place the 'meat' in a bowl. Mash it with a fork well enough, and add the rest of the ingredients.
Tahini spread
Ingredients
Let's get mixing!
4 tbsps raw Tahini
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tbsps lemon juice
1 handful parsley, chopped
water, as needed
Mix all the ingredients together.
Add water to get a consistent, smooth, thick (but not too much) texture. It should be easy to use as a spread, but not to liquidy.
Coleslaw
Ingredients
Let's get mixing!
1 medium Cabbage, chopped or thinly slices
2-3 tbsps Vegenaise
2 tbsps lemon juice
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 handful cranberries
2 tbsps roasted sesame
Not much to do here.. just mix all the ingredients together and serve with bread and spreads.. and Enjoy!
