Units
Scale
- 1 batch of tempeh bacon, tofu bacon, or vegan bacon bits
- 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup of this vegan ranch dressing
- 2 heads of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 of a medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Begin by making the tempeh bacon.
- While the tempeh bacon is cooking prepare the vegan ranch dressing.
- Add the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion to a large bowl then toss until the ingredients are well combined. Pour about half of the dressing over the salad and then lightly toss until everything is combined and evenly coated.
- Cut or tear the tempeh bacon into bite-size pieces and add to the top of the salad while saving a few extra pieces to crumble for the topping. Toss once more to combine everything.
- Serve the salad in individual bowls, top with extra tempeh bacon, drizzle with leftover ranch dressing, sprinkle with a little black pepper if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*The prep time includes the cooking time for the tempeh bacon.
Leftover vegan BLT salad should be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can store it a little longer but the salad will become very soft and soggy.
