Taco Salad w/ Vegan Jalapeño Cilantro Dressing

It’s been two years since I became an herbivore and its been incredibly difficult to create food that does not contain a starch. Here is a new favorite lunch recipe, Vegan taco salad with jalapeño cilantro dressing. I love this recipe because its healthy and super easy to double up for my husband’s lunch.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup Black beans-rinsed & dried
• 2 cups Spinach-any greens will work

• 2 Garlic cloves-chopped
• 1/2 cup Cilantro-chopped
• 1/2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1/8 cup Vegan yogurt
• 1 tsp Agave

Step 1- For the dressing, combine the following in a food processor:

•  Jalapeño

Step 2- In a small bowl combine jalapeño mixture with the following:

Step 3- Layer salad ingredients in large mason jar (dressing can be placed at the bottom of the jar) I prefer to store separately
