Vegan BLT Salad

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Oct 19, 2023 · published: Apr 28, 2019 · About 4 minutes to read this article. Leave a Comment

This fast, easy and flavorful Vegan BLT Salad is perfect for lunch. You could also serve it alongside a pizza or pasta at dinnertime. Or you could double the portion size for a full on entree salad. Creamy vegan ranch dressing coats crisp romaine lettuce, juicy summer tomatoes and tempeh bacon bits too. Add some steamed broccoli if you'd like and a hefty portion on buttery avocado on top...

Post-long weekend mood...
Sochi gets it..

Blue sky, yes and yes.

Summer Mood Recipe

Long weekend over and summer is on the way. I had such a chill long weekend! We didn't go anywhere or do anything really special and that made it lovely. Friday through Sunday was a bit rainy, which made for perfect writing and creative projects weather. A nice run at the gym (I'm actually working out again after a looooooooong hiatus) and I even got back in the kitchen and cooked a bit (also a bit of a hiatus). Then Monday opened up with this beautiful powder blue sky and soft streaks of sparkly warm sunshine.

I went with a friend to get a facial at HeyDay in Brentwood - super cute spot for natural skincare - and then home to make this vegan BLT salad.

Simple Starts

Breakfasts for me have still been super simple - oatmeal and blueberries. I think I may have tested the limits of how many pints of blueberries one person can eat in one weekend these past few days. I think we went through four pints! Yup. They were so good!

Schools Almost Out

And I only have a few more weeks left of my UCLA writing class, which is so sad since I've loved it so much these past eight or so months.

Oh, and the kitties loved their long weekend as well - so many sunbeam naps and snuggle time on the couch. I binge-watched Dead to Me, which was pretty good. And I also watched the GOT documentary. Still sad it's over, but FYI the GOT soundtrack from this last season is SO great. I love it as work music!

So, that was my weekend, I hope you guys had a nice one as well.

Vegan BLT Salad.

Summer should offer up simple recipes. And this salad is so simple, yet flavorful. Who needs complicated on a lazy summer day, right?

This vegan BLT salad serves up easy romaine leaves and a creamy vegan ranch to richen those veggies. My tempeh bacon provides heartiness and loads of protein too. And avocado, always!

Ranch Dressing.

You can DIY your dressing (see my recipe below for one of mine) or use a store-bought version. Follow Your Heart High-Omega Ranch is one of my faves.

You can totally use any greens you'd like and play around with the veggies on top. I love romaine for it's refreshing crunch!

Hope you love this salad! Happy almost-summer. PS. Snag this PDF for recipes!
