Vegan Tex Mex Nourish Bowl

For 4 people

The Vegan Tex Mex Nourish Bowl is a versatile vegan dish that uses walnuts to create “taco-style meat”. The bowl can be served with a selection of raw vegetables, a salsa made from roasted tomatoes, cooked quinoa and a golden chlorella dressing. The recipe was developed in collaboration with Christine Bailey, an award-winning nutritional therapist, chef, writer and broadcaster with over 18 years of experience.

Ingredients:

• 120 g soaked walnuts
• 8 chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon of garlic salt
• 20 g of golden chlorella
• Salad
• Quinoa
• Vegetables of your choice
• Tomato salsa

Dressing:

• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Basil leaves
• Parsley
• Tarragon
• Chives
• 1 tbsp golden chlorella
• 200 g of plant-based yogurt

Cook the quinoa for four people according to the instructions on the packet.

Meanwhile, for the vegan taco meat, put the soaked walnuts, chopped tomatoes, paprika powder, cumin, garlic salt and golden chlorella in a bowl or mixer and mix well. For the dressing, place all the herbs in a blender. Then add the pressed garlic clove, apple cider vinegar, golden chlorella and the vegetable yogurt. Mix well again. Arrange the salad, quinoa and vegan taco meat in a plate. Then add vegetables of your choice, e.g. corn, avocado and paprika, as well as tomato salsa. Pour the dressing over and serve.
