This Vegan Spring Wedge Salad is a tasty and cool dish that is perfect for the warmer months. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley are piled on top of crisp iceberg lettuce. The rich and tangy vegan ranch dressing goes well with the smoky apple bits, which give the salad a great crunch and a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients: 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into wedges. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup cucumber, diced. 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. For Vegan Ranch Dressing:. 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise. 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped. Salt and pepper to taste. For Smoky Apple Bits:. 1 apple, diced. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon maple syrup. 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke. 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Put the apple dices in a bowl and mix them with the smoked paprika, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and olive oil until they are all covered. Spread the apple pieces that have been coated out on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are crispy and slightly caramelized. Leave to cool. Mix the vegan ranch dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Make the seasonings taste better. Put the wedges of iceberg lettuce on a platter to serve. Sliced cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley should be put on top. Add the vegan ranch dressing to the salad and then sprinkle the apple bits that have been smoked on top. Serve right away and enjoy!
