A vegan salad<\/a> can’t just have leaves and veggies. It needs to be super hearty with interesting textures and flavors. This recipe is kind of like a hybrid between a bowl and a salad because it has just the right balance between fresh raw veggies and warm, spiced cooked components. The dressing isn\u2019t your typical green goddess because it is lighter, tangier and more refreshing than the traditional dairy-based recipe.\u00a0The dressing can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To make it gluten-free,\u00a0replace the seitan with tempeh and make sure the tortilla chips are gluten-free.<\/p>\n
