(VEGAN RECIPE) I’m taking it easy on you for this week’s Meat-free Monday challenge. This simply prepared meal takes a little amount of prepping and an even smaller amount of cooking.

I prefer to eat this salad right after it’s made, but it tastes great at room temperature and even cold. It’s filling enough for a main dish, but is also a great side. — Global Animal
