How to Prepare Simple BLT Salad [Vegan]

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and beans and cook until the beans are heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the nutritional yeast and cook for 1 minutes. Stir in the tamari and smoke and cook until the liquid evaporates. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cubed bread and cook until the bread is turning golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the thyme, garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper. Stir and cook until the bread is crunchy, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the paprika and set aside.
