Chickpea Salad with Vegan Mayonnaise

This is not only an ideal summer recipe, it's a great alternative for those who cannot or choose not to eat eggs but once enjoyed egg salad. That was why I was originally going to name this recipe "mock egg" salad. I've been a vegetarian for about 23 years now and recently I've been gravitating toward vegan meals for the most part because I find dairy-free meals easier on my digestive system. And the twists on traditional classics that I've been making have been turning out so well, I don't miss the dairy at all really, except for an occasional craving for cheese and yogurt.

Mayonnaise dressed salads are something that have been transformed into dairy-free versions with wonderful results in my kitchen. After successfully creating a creamy vegan coleslaw dressed with avocado and soon a take on my classic Caesar salad, I figured this chickpea salad was quick and easy to make up, and it is packed full of protein and fiber besides.

My creamy mayo included nutty cashews, some tart flavors from vinegar and mustard, sourness from lemon juice, and cheesiness from nutritional yeast. Adding some chopped uncooked vegetables to the salad add pleasantly crunchy textures and of course extra nutrition too.

This salad can be enjoyed in any number of ways. I served it with some rusks, but consider serving the salad as a filling for a wrap, turn it into sandwich with toasted bread or crusty bread, wrap it up in lettuce leaves, or just enjoy by the spoonful. It is portable too, making it a good choice for potlucks. If you enjoy eating outdoors or going on picnic outings or camping trips, this would be a good choice because it won't spoil in the heat, especially if kept in a cooler.

Chickpea Salad with Vegan Mayonnaise

Recipe by Lisa Turner Adapted from The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Vegan Recipes To Glow From The Inside Out Published on August 14, 2015 Creamy, nourishing and tasty chickpea and pea salad with fresh crunchy chopped vegetables dressed with a vegan cashew-based mayonnaise — a perfect vegan alternative to egg salads, and a delicious summer meal served in wraps or sandwiches or as a salad Print this recipe Salad: 2/3 cup dried chickpeas (2 cups cooked) 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas, blanched 2 celery stalks, diced 1 small red onion, diced 2 dill pickles, finely chopped 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped 1 to 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill (4 tablespoons fresh) fresh cracked black pepper to taste Vegan mayonnaise: 1 1/4 cup raw cashews 1/2 cup almond or hemp milk, or more as needed 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar juice from 1 small lemon (2 tablespoons) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon coconut or brown sugar 1 heaping tablespoon nutritional yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste Instructions: Rinse the chickpeas and soak for 8 hours or overnight in several inches of water. Drain and rinse, then transfer to a medium saucepan and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until buttery soft. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the green peas and roughly mash most of the mixture with a potato masher. Meanwhile, soak the cashews in hot water for 2 hours. Drain and set aside. Stir the celery, red onion, dill pickle, red pepper, jalapeños, garlic and dill into the chickpea mixture. To make the mayonnaise, combine the cashews, almond or hemp milk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cider vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, nutritional yeast and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until combined. You want a fairly thick mixture, but add another tablespoon of olive oil and more almond milk if the mixture is too thick. Stir the mayonnaise into the salad until everything is well combined. Add some black pepper, stir, and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperate on rusks or crackers, or wrap in tortillas or lettuce leaves, or use as a filling for a sandwich. Makes about 3 cups or 4 to 6 servings

Black Bean Salad with Fresh Mango and a Chaat Masala Dressing

Easy bean salads are a perfect choice for summer meals and quite portable too, making them a good choice for potluck dinners and outdoor picnics. When it's hot, many of us don't care to fuss too much over dinner, and this is one of those dishes that comes together in hardly any time at all. This is not a bland salad either as many of the store-bought bean salads so often are. It's no wonder that some folks say they don't like beans — it's all in the preparation and seasoning and imaginative touch that goes into the food, and bean snubbers just might change their minds after feasting on this colorful and refreshing salad.

When I came up with the idea, I had an Indian twist in mind, hence the cumin and homemade chaat masala included in the tangy and zesty lime dressing. The earthiness of the black beans also makes a nice contrast to the succulent and sweet mango and crisp red pepper. There is a medley of color and flavor in this salad and each bite is a pleasing contrast of healthy and refreshing tastes and textures.

The recipe can easily be doubled, and if there are leftovers they keep well covered in the fridge for a day or two.

Note: Chaat masala is a hot, sour and salty Indian spice blend that goes well with cool or tangy foods. It can easily be found at any Asian and Indian grocery store, but I prefer to make my own blends. They take so little time to blend up, keep well in a sealed jar in a dark cool place for a good few months, and are usually far superior and certainly fresher in taste.

Creamy Vegan Coleslaw Dressed with Avocado

Yesterday was officially the first day of summer. This year, it has been feeling like summer for over a month now with plenty of rain and invigorating sunshine. My outdoor garden is happy about that. It also means more salads on the menu, and this one is refreshing and nourishing.

Coleslaw is a summer favorite, as is potato salad. I made this vegan version because I am not overly fond of mayonnaise. I do enjoy cheese, so I don't follow a strict vegan diet, but the majority of my meals are dairy-free. The avocado-based dressing is tart and creamy and makes for a better coleslaw than any I've ever eaten. I maintain that avocados ought to be a daily part of your meal plans, even if that means simply scooping out the flesh and enjoying for breakfast or lunch.

Vegan Potato Salad Dressed with Avocado

It's been an unseasonably hot spring this year in London, Ontario. Seems winter went and summer just kicked right in. That means more salads have been appearing on the menu. Potato salad always seems to be a popular choice and is especially suited to potlucks and picnics — especially this one that is made without eggs or a dairy-based dressing.

I've never been especially fond of mayonnaise and lately I have tried to replicate the creaminess that is often present in potato salads and coleslaws with fresh avocado. I have been delighted with the results and plan to try something different with my favorite Caesar salad next time I make it. The dressing here adds a tangy element to the salad that is not to be missed if you enjoy dressing up potatoes. It's super easy to prepare too, and the dressing can be made up while the vegetables are roasting. Roasting the potatoes is a fantastic way to prevent the potatoes from getting mushy and brings out their natural goodness while preserving more of the nutrients. As for roasted asparagus, it takes so little time if the asparagus is fresh. In this instance, the oven was already heated up with the potatoes and so it only made sense to skip steaming or pan-frying the asparagus.

Vegan Potato Salad Dressed with Avocado

Recipe by Lisa Turner Adapted from The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Vegan Recipes To Glow From The Inside Out Published on June 8, 2015 Golden brown roasted potatoes and tender roasted asparagus tossed in a creamy, tangy and zesty avocado and dill dressing — perfect for hot summer days Print this recipe Salad: 2 lbs (900 g) white potatoes, cut into 1/2 cubes or triangles 1 bunch (1 lb or 450 g) asparagus 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 2 green onions, trimmed and chopped Dressing: 1 avocado, pitted and peeled 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped juice from 1 lemon (3 tablespoons) 1 green onion, trimmed and chopped 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional) 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste Instructions: Preheat an oven to 425°. Toss the potatoes with half of the oil and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, taking care to spread them evenly. Season with some salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 minutes, flip them, and roast for another 10 minutes until lightly browned and fork tender. Meanwhile, snap the woody ends off of the asparagus spears and chop the spears into 1-inch pieces. Push the potatoes to the side to make room for the asparagus. Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining oil and season with a bit more salt and pepper. Place the pan back in the oven and roast the vegetables for 10 minutes until the asparagus is tender. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and add the green onions. Let the salad cool to room temperature. To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a small food processor until smooth. Add a little water if necessary. Toss the salad with the dressing and serve at room temperature or chilled. Makes 4 to 6 servings

Chickpea, Olive and Feta Salad with Chat Masala Dressing

I'm trying to switch cooking gears from warming soups to cool and refreshing salads after summer made a quick and dazzling appearance after what seemed like a long cold winter and short cool spring. My first thought upon the arrival of hot weather was to make a simple chickpea salad with some fresh crunchy vegetables and my favorite Kalamata olives and sheep milk Feta cheese from a local Greek grocer — easy, nourishing and delicious with tantalizing contrasts of texture and color.

Using quality ingredients always makes these summer bean salads appealing, but what makes this salad different is the use of an Indian spice blend in the dressing. It may seem odd to combine an Indian spice blend with Mediterranean salad ingredients, but chat (or chaat) masala is such a vibrant spice blend that it deserves a wider scope than in just Indian food. A combination of dried mango powder, black salt and various seeds and spices, chat masala is hot, sour and salty all at the same time and goes wonderfully with cool or tangy foods — like a summer salad!

Good pre-blended and packaged chat masalas are easily available at Indian grocers, but you can make your own authentic spice blend that will keep for months using this recipe here.

Chickpea, Olive and Feta Salad with Chat Masala Dressing

Recipe by Lisa Turner Published on May 25, 2015 Simple, colorful and refreshing summer chickpea salad with a zesty chat masala dressing Print this recipe Salad: 1 cup dried chickpeas (3 cups cooked or 2 14 oz cans) 1 yellow, orange or red bell pepper, seeded and chopped 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced 1 pint (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1/2 cup black or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled Dressing: 3 tablespoons olive oil juice from 1 lemon (3 tablespoons) 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 1 clove garlic, crushed or minced 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon chat masala 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional) fresh ground black pepper Instructions: Rinse the chickpeas and soak for 8 hours or overnight in several inches of water with a little yogurt whey or lemon juice added. Drain and rinse, then transfer to a medium saucepan and cover with several inches of fresh water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until soft. Drain and add to a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour over the salad and toss gently. Serve at room temperature or cold. Makes 6 to 8 servings

Fig Salad Dressed with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Figs are not something that appear on my table very often, and the reason surely must be because the fig season seems so dearly short. It is certainly not about the sweet and unique taste they contribute to dishes, especially salads such as this balsamic dressed one with bitter radicchio, fresh basil and peppery watercress. This is a bold salad that can be enjoyed year round as a bit of hunting in even modest size cities will result in figs to adorn this dish. In this case, these figs were imported from Israel and I had no reason to complain about freshness, despite the fact they were imported from overseas.

This recipe is inspired by one of my latest cookbook acquisitions. Plenty More: Vibrant Vegetable Cooking is a follow up to Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi. Both books are vegetarian and feature stunning creations that are for the most part easy to make and always delicious. I enthusiastically display a few of Ottolenghi's beautiful books on my shelf, and although the other two books are not strictly vegetarian, there are plenty of offerings for vegetarians and vegans within the covers complete with photos that tempt one to preserve the books as coffee table browsing. That would however be a shame because the recipes deserve to be explored in the kitchen and served up at the table. Impressive, always, with middle eastern flare and loaded with plenty of vegetables.

Fig Salad Dressed with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Recipe by Lisa Turner Adapted from Plenty More: Vibrant Vegetable Cooking from London's Ottolenghi Published on November 4, 2014 A simple salad of bold contrasts in color, texture and flavor with soft sweet figs, crunchy radicchio and toasted walnuts, and tender leaves of sweet basil and peppery watercress dressed in a robust herbed balsamic vinaigrette Print this recipe Salad: 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil 1 medium red onion 1/3 cup raw walnuts leaves from 1 small head of radicchio, coarsely torn 1 1/3 cups fresh basil leaves 1 1/3 cups watercress leaves 6 to 8 ripe figs, cut into wedges Dressing: 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/2 tablespoon champagne vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried oregano sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste Instructions: Preheat an oven to 425°. Peel the onion and halve lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges. Toss the wedges with 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil, a bit of salt and some black pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting, until the onions are soft and golden and just begin to turn crispy on the edges. Cool and separate the onions into bite size pieces. Set aside. Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a small unoiled skillet over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Set aside. Mix together the radicchio, basil and watercress. To make the dressing, whisk together the oil and vinegars, cinnamon, herbs, and salt and black pepper to taste. Taste and adjust. To assemble the salad, arrange some of the mixed radicchio, basil and watercress on plates. Top with a few pieces of fig and some roasted onion. Add a few more leaves to the plate, along with more fig and onion. Drizzle some dressing over the salad and garnish with some walnuts. Makes 4 servings

Greek Salad with Hummus Dressing

I adore Greek salad. Loads of crisp vegetables combined with plump olives and creamy Feta cheese all dressed up with an olive oil and vinegar dressing never fails to please. This time around, I was inspired by Joanne's rather unconventional take on this classic and adorned the whole beautiful bowl with a hummus-based dressing. Pleased by the success of my Greek salad with avocado, I made avocado hummus to begin with and then turned it into a thick and creamy dressing for the salad. It's fun to change things up from time to time and this made for one nourishing and satisfying meal, served up with classic buttermilk biscuits.

This is not the first time I have played around with hummus with excellent results. I still crave my homemade hummus pizza. The uses of hummus are as wide and vast as the imagination of the cook

Notes: Use any sort of hummus you like here. Roasted red pepper hummus or a traditional lemon hummus would be just as delicious. Make adjustments to the quantity of vegetables used in the salad and also the amount of oil and vinegar in the dressing to suit your preferences. Tasting as you go is the key to getting the dressing just right. Mine was rather thick but adding more olive oil, lemon juice and vinegar will thin it out more if you prefer.

Greek Salad with Hummus Dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing until smooth, adding more oil and vinegar as needed to thin the dressing to your taste. Arrange the salad on plates, spoon some dressing over each serving, and top with some extra crumbled Feta. Makes 6 servings

Avocado Mango Salad with Cilantro and Roasted Cashews

This is certainly on the list of the most refreshing and vibrant salads I have ever enjoyed. Colorful chunks of sweet mango and creamy avocado are dressed up with a bold and tangy lime dressing that embraces the herbs and fruit for a extra boost to the palate without overpowering the balance of flavors throughout. I've added jalapeño here for a bit of a kick and stove-top toasted cashews for some nuttiness and texture. There's a lot going on here, but it all comes together texturally and textually for a stunning taste experience. Despite the complexity of flavors, putting this salad together takes very little time at all and should be considered an ideal summer meal accompaniment or light lunch.

In addition to serving as a side salad, consider the various roles this dish can play at the table and serve it up much like you would your favorite condiments, such as a chunky chutney.

Add the mango to the bowl, along with the red onion, cilantro, mint, jalapeño and half of the cashews. Gently toss to coat.
