Vegan Salad: Apple/Pineapple Slaw

What you’ll need:

  • 1/4 Cabbage – Chopped (or one bag mixed slaw)
  • Pink Lady Apples – Diced (2)
  • Pineapple Chunks – Drained (1 can)
  • Pineapple Juice (1 tbs to start)
  • Vegan Mayo (4 tbs to start)
  • Walnuts – Chopped (1/4 cup)

Whisk vegan mayo with pineapple juice to achieve desired consistency for the dressing. In a large bowl, pour dressing over cabbage and fruit. Fold all ingredients until well covered. Sprinkle walnuts over the top.

Refrigerate unused portion.

Note: Shredded coconut makes a nice addition to this recipe.

Vegan Snack: Savory Air-Popped Popcorn

What you’ll need:

  • Air-Pop Popcorn Popper
  • Popcorn (2 tbs. kernels)
  • Freezer Bag
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1 tsp.) or Olive Oil Spray
  • Sea Salt (to taste)

Pop kernels with air-popper. Transfer popcorn to a freezer bag and add olive oil and sea salt. Shake for even cover. Deposit into bowl, and top with favorite spices.

Suggested Seasonings

  • Nutritional yeast
  • Chili powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Cumin
  • Oregano
  • Cinnamon

Note: I use a freezer bag to coat the popcorn evenly with oil so it will hold salt. After that, I transfer the popcorn into a bowl and sprinkle additional seasonings on top. That way I can reuse the plastic bag several times.
