It’s no secret that I’m not your classic salad-loving vegan. I definitely indulge in burgers, fries and ice cream regularly, life is about enjoying the things you love, and I take full advantage of vegan comfort foods. When my body tells me it wants extra veggies, I intuitively know to give myself extra hearty greens and other whole foods. This warm salad is the perfect way for me to feed my body greens and other hearty nutrients without forcing myself to eat something I’m not craving. This fills me right up!
