How to Prepare Good Heart Salad with Vegan Cashew Cheese [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Make The Vegan Cheese:

  1. Add the soaked cashews/pulp, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, water, and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse a few times and then process for 4-5 minutes, occasionally stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Make The Dressing:

  1. Combine all ingredients (except water) in a blender and puree until smooth.
  2. If you prefer a thinner, more pourable dressing, add a tablespoon or two of filtered water and blend.

Assemble:

  1. Wash and pat dry all your vegetables. Place the cut greens and Romain lettuce into a large bowl.
  2. Top with sweet corn, green peas, and tomatoes.
  3. Take about 1/2 cup of the vegan cheese into your hands and with your fingers drop little pieces on top of the greens.
  4. Sprinkle the fruit/nut mix on top of your salad.
  5. Serve with a generous amount of dressing.

Notes

Extra cheese can be stored in the fridge for five days.
