Salată vegană de taco
Ingrediente
- 3 cupe Salată verde - tocat
- 1 poate să Fasole neagra - (15oz / 400g) drained
- 1 poate să Boabele de porumb - (15oz / 400g) drained
- 1 ceaşcă Roșii cherry
- 1 lot TVP Taco Meat
- ⅓ ceaşcă Smoked Vegan Cheddar Cheese - mărunțită
Taco Dressing
- ¾ ceaşcă Iaurt de cocos - plain, unsweetened
- 2 linguri Garlic Infused Olive Oil
- 1 lingură Suc de lămâie
- 4-5 lingurițe Taco Condiment
- 1 ciupi Sare
- 1 ciupi Fulgi de chilli - or black pepper
Instrucțiuni
- Prepare the salad dressing: add all the dressing ingredients into a glass jug and stir until smooth. Set aside in a large salad bowl, or divide evenly into 3 jars if you meal prep.
- Cook the TVP taco meat following my recipe here; don't add the optional cauliflower rice. When cooked, transfer to a clean plate and cool at room temperature for an hour, then cool in the fridge for 1 hour. You can also meal-prep this part the day before to save time.
- Assemble the salad in this order: add the salad dressing, black beans, corn kernel, tomatoes, taco meat, vegan shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped lettuce.
- Toss the salad just before eating.
- Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Ingrediente și înlocuiri
You need just a few ingredients for the salad and a few more for the dressing.
- Salată verde – I like classic lettuce leaves, but you can really put any kind of leafy green you like, such as baby spinach.
- Fasole neagra – There’s no vegan taco without black beans. They taste great and add even more protein. If you don’t have any, you can use red kidney beans instead.
- Boabe de porumb – I used canned sweet corn, but you can also use fresh corn from the cob.
- Roșii cherry – I make this with fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden. If they’re not in season, you can just use regular tomatoes cut into small chunks.
- TVP Taco Meat – Textured Soy Protein is a meat alternative that is a byproduct of soybean oil production. Once the oil is extracted, what’s left is very rich in protein. It’s just heated up to turn it into the fibrous, meat-like texture.
- Smoked Vegan Cheddar Cheese – Any vegan cheese alternative would work, but we’re lucky to have a smoked version that tastes great on vegan Mexican food.
Taco Dressing
- Iaurt de cocos – I recommend using coconut yogurt for its fresh flavor, but any plant-based yogurt would do the trick!
- Garlic Infused Olive Oil – Any olive oil works, in fact, any oil works, but I like the flavor of garlic-infused one.
- Suc de lămâie – Fresh or bottled lime juice.
- Taco Condiment – Any taco seasoning mix works.
- Fulgi de Chili – For more zing.
How to Make Vegan Taco Salad
Making this salad is very easy, as you can see in the recipe card further below.
Cook the TVP meat with olive oil and the taco seasoning mix.
Shred the cheese finely if you bought a block.
Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jug.
Prepare 3 jar if you are meal-prepping the salad and pour the dressing at the bottom.
Add the beans and corn over the dressing. They are the ingredients that would change the least in the dressing. Then add the TVP meat.
Top with the vegan cheese, cherry tomatoes, and salad, and close the container.
Sfaturi pentru pregătirea meselor
While this salad is great as a regular lunch, it’s particularly easy to use the recipe for meal prep. With these few tips, you can make the salad last longer in the fridge!
- For the longest-lasting, you can keep the dressing and the lettuce separate.
- If you’re making 3-4 jars, you can fully prepare them as above. It’s essential to keep the dressing at the bottom to prevent it from wilting the fresh ingredients.
- Keep the lettuce on the top so you can remove any leaf that might have wilted.
- When you’re ready to serve, open a jar, place a large plate facing down on it, and flip the whole lot!
Hi! The link to the TVP Taco Meat recipe is not available throughout the blog. Do you mind re-adding?
Sure, here’s the link to TVP. It has been updated in the recipe card as well.
Oh Carine, I’m glad you’re making salads again, this is absolutely delicious
I made a pretty large batch and don’t regret it. The way it drips from the jar makes me drool and it’s so good to it. I crush a few tortillas on top for more crisp.
yummy, very tasty. Highly recommend
