Creamy Chipotle Cabbage Salad
A salad that actually leaves your belly and your taste buds satisfied! It’s crunchy, savory, creamy and absolutely delicious!
When it comes to having salad as a meal, I want it all! I want freshness. I want some cooked ingredients. I want savoriness. I want pickled ingredients. I want creamy ingredients and I want a really great dressing. The dressing I prepared for this salad is a delicious chipotle vinaigrette and all of these ingredients together just make sense!
It’s always fun to take a break from the traditional lettuce or spinach salad. Using a cabbage base, along with the cucumbers, brings a fun and exciting crunchy twist to the salad that you probably aren’t used to being excited to dive into. This creamy chipotle dressing will have you second guessing if it’s really a salad you’re eating.
The avocado, chickpeas, and meat alternative that make this a “hearty” salad leave you satisfied and full like you should be after a delicious meal. I personally prefer to use either
“asada” mushrooms, crispy vegan chicken or crispy tofu; but you can use whatever your favorite meat alternative is!
Mix everything together for a bowl of your new favorite salad!
