Recipe type: Lunch
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups rehydrated soy curls (rehydrate them in broth)
- ¼-1/2 cup BBQ sauce of choice
- 5 cups shredded lettuce
- 1½ cup black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1¼ cup corn, thawed or canned
- 1½ cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, diced
- ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Optional:1½ cups cooked rice of choice (brown, basmati, wild) or quinoa
- optional dressing: vegan ranch,caesar, or other dressing of choice
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add soy curls and cook until health through and slightly charred in areas 5-8 minutes. Transfer soy curls to a large bowl and toss with BBQ sauce. Set aside.
**I like to add a piece of paper towel or cut cloth to the bottom of my meal prep containers to soak up moisture. This is completely optional, but I find it helps to keep veggies fresh and not soggy.
- In 5 meal prep containers, evenly divide up the BBQ soy curls, black beans, corn, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and lime.
- Place romaine lettuce into sandwich bags or dividers, and portion dressing, if using, into containers or jars.
- Store prepped salads in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To Eat: When you are ready to enjoy your lunch, add romaine to the rest of the ingredients, squeeze the lime wedge and shake up the salad. Dress with dressing, if using, and enjoy!
