Ingredients
  

Dressing: makes 3 cups- store in fridge up to 1 week

  • 2 cups bell peppers ,roughly chopped
  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Walnut Taco Meat-4 servings

  • 2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, not oil packed
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • pinch of cayenne and chili powder

Bowl Ingredients

  • 1 large head Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatos sliced in half
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn
  • 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
  • 1 bag Neal Brother Tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Add dressing ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little more water here if it's too thick, just add a little at a time.  Pour into container and set aside. 
    Add the walnut taco filling ingredients to the food processor, pulse until you have a crumbly mix. Try to take it slow with this so you don't end up with walnut tomato butter!
    Wash and chop your romaine lettuce, halve your cherry tomatoes with a pairing knife and dice some avocado. If you are using frozen corn, just run under some hot water using a strainer. 
    Set up 4 bowls, add a generous handful of romaine, 1/4 cup each of cherry tomatoes, corn and avocado. Scoop in 1/4 of the taco filling (approx 1/2 cup). Drizzle with cheeze sauce. Top with chopped cilantro or parsley and green onion. Serve with some tortilla chips.

Notes

I like to use a hearty green in this salad since it's a heavier dressing. Romaine, arugula or baby kale work well but romaine is my top choice.
