For me, Summer is the time for salads - big healthy salads with a lot of fruit and veggies. This is one of those salads that I have been enjoying this Summer.

I eat this for lunch on most days. Even though I've written it up as two servings, I like to eat the whole thing. There's nothing better than a big hearty healthy salad on a hot Summer day.

It has a balance of textures and flavors. Switch up your salad repertoire with this vegan salad. It's a hearty meal - perfect for brown bagging it to work or an easy weeknight dinner.

A salad dressing to try is my Tahini Dressing recipe. Some other salads to try are my Vegan Chipotle Salad and Vegan Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing.

Other avocado recipes to try are my Vegan Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese and Vegan Avocado Pesto Potato Salad.

💭 Tips

Taste the dressing as you go. You may want more or less of an ingredient than listed. I've been making this dressing recently with more turmeric to get the health benefits of it. Turmeric has a strong flavor, so start with the amount listed and add more if desired.
The dressing thickens after being in the fridge. Add more water as needed.
Making this salad right before you eat it is best, but you can make it a day or two before. Don't add the avocado or dressing until you're going to eat it.
