Description
A healthy twist on a classic dish, featuring Abbot's plant-rich Ground "Beef," tangy pickles, and non-dairy cheese alongside crisp romaine lettuce and juicy tomatoes. Topped with red onions and a tangy Thousand Island Dressing, this salad is the perfect combination of fresh flavors and hearty satisfaction.
Method
Using 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, sauté sliced onions until caramelized (they should be brown and very soft). This may take up to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Cook “Beef” according to package instructions. Turn off heat and mix in mustard.
Distribute lettuce between two large salad bowls.
Top each bowl with equal portions of “Beef”, caramelized onions, pickles, tomato, vegan cheese, and sesame seeds.
Finish with a drizzle of dressing and serve immediately.
