Jazz up your next salad with these incredible vegan Salad Bits!
Via Alex Dickie | June 24, 2015
My first job was as a salad and dessert chef at a local Cafe in my home town of Cambridge Ont. One dish that I remember fondly was the house spinach salad. In fact I think this was the first salad I liked as a kid. I was 15 when I started the job and wasn’t really into eating green things but the combination of the fresh spinach, creamy ranch dressing and bacon bits (I wasn’t into the shredded egg) was something I really enjoyed. Since I became a vegetarian I have been always interested to recreate some of those foods I enjoyed ‘PV’ or ‘pre veg’ and these beauties come about as close to the real thing as your gonna get. These ‘faken bits’ are a great addition to salads and dressings and you can even sprinkle them on your next pizza. Who knows, maybe you have a teenager or younger child at home who could use a little more salad in their life. Oh and don’t forget these are vegan with no added oil and are totally gluten free. Stay tuned, I’ll give you recipe for a delicious ranch dressing next time. Bon Appetit!
