What I love about this Vegan Cobb Salad is that it’s so simple to make. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s filled with flavour for everyone in the family to love and share. Eat it as a full meal, or as a side. It’s perfect at a BBQ, or just to meal prep and bring to work with you. Even though it is September and everyone is in full-on fall mode, thinking about stews and soups, this healthy Vegan Cobb Salad is one that you’ll want to eat all the way through the winter months.
Good Catch Tuna for the perfect vegan cobb salad
Tuna isn’t ever something that crosses a vegans mind, because well, it’s not vegan. However, Good Catch Tuna has come up with a vegan alternative that is super nutritious, while also keeping our tuna fish in the water where they belong. Good Catch Foods tuna is high in protein and omega-3, so you’re still getting the nutrition you’d get from real tuna, without having to eat the real thing. Plus, you’ll avoid the negative aspects of eating fish like mercury, dioxins, microfibers, etc.
What’s amazing is that Good Catch Foods tuna tastes just like real seafood. This may turn off some vegans, but I love it. How do they make it taste like real tuna? Well, they use algae oil, and special plant ingredients that capture seafood’s flavor. The flavor is combined with a six-legume blend consisting of chickpeas, soy, peas, lentils, fava, and navy beans, to get the texture of tuna, along with all the healthy protein. The brand has some yummy frozen entrees and appetizers coming soon and offers their plant-based tuna in three flavors: naked in the water, Mediterranean, and oils and herbs if you want that extra kick of flavor.
The other nutritious ingredients in this vegan cobb salad
The other ingredients in this salad that compliment the tuna are the brussel sprouts. I LOVE brussel sprouts, and they are so tasty in this salad combined with the pickled radishes which add a tang. Seriously this salad is full of character and a sense of WHAM! It’s also versatile. Pick and choose what you like in your salad. Feeling like it’s missing something? Add in your fav grain like quinoa, rice, or barley. This recipe is super forgiving and you can swap out ingredients as you please.
