Ingredients

4 seitan sausages chopped small

4 cups pre-chopped coleslaw mix

1 red bell pepper, chopped 

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, (1 standard package)

1 jalapeno, sliced thin, without or without seeds (depending how spicy you like it!)

1/2 red onion, sliced thin

1/4 cup lime juice 

1/4 cup liquid aminos 

2 tbsp maple syrup 

2 tbsp sesame oil 

2 cloves garlic

1 inch fresh ginger, peeled

 

Recipe

Slice the sausages into small chunks. 

Pre-heat a pan to medium heat and add the sausages.

Cook until browned, 7-8 minutes. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl add: coleslaw mix, chopped bell pepper and fresh basil, sliced jalapeno and red onion. Add in cooked chopped sausages and toss everything to combine.

In a high speed blender add: lime juice, liquid aminos, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic cloved, and peeled, fresh ginger. Blend until you have a smooth dressing.

Alternatively you can make the dressing in a bowl and finely dice the ginger and garlic by hand.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything really well to combine.

Plate into 4 bowls or meal prep containers.

Seal and refrigerate until ready to eat. 

 

I added the dressing to all four salads on day one because all the vegetables used stand up to the moisture and actually benefit from a little softening. That being said, these salads will only last in my house for two days! So if you're going to enjoy the salads over 4 days, consider leaving the dressing on the side until ready to eat.

Enjoy!
