Recipe for Soy Curls Salad



Adapted from a recipe by Kim Campbell.

4 ounces Soy Curls
1/2 cup Seed Dressing (recipe below)
1 celery stalk, small diced
1 carrot, shredded
1/4 cup pickle relish
1 tsp. dried dill
1T Dijon mustard
1 cup grapes, chopped (optional)

Re-constitute the soy curls by placing them in a bowl and pouring 2 cups of hot water over them. Let them sit for about 15 minutes. When they are soft and hydrated, drain and squeeze out the excess water. I put some of the soy curls (about 1/3 at a time) in a wire mesh strainer and press them with the back of a soup ladle to accomplish this.

Put the hydrated soy curls in a pile on a cutting board and chop them with a chef's knife until desired size is achieved. Or just look for the pieces you think are a little too big and cut them into the size you want.

Place the chopped soy curls into a medium size mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix together until ingredients are well combined.

Place bowl in refrigerator until salad is chilled.


Seed Dressing

Makes about 2-1/2 cups.

3 T raw green pumpkin seeds
3 T raw sunflower seeds
3 T sesame seeds
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/8 tsp. chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 T frozen lemon cubes (or fresh juice)
1 tsp. reduced-sodium tamari
1 T apple cider vinegar
2 T Dijon mustard (or stone ground)

Put all ingredients except about 1/2 cup water in Vitamix and blend about 1 minute. Pour into quart-size canning jar. Put remaining water in Vitamix and blend for about 10 seconds. Pour into jar. Stir well.

Dressing will thicken up in the refrigerator.
