#207 The Case of Don't Give a Fig Salad

This salad tastes way too decadent not to be dessert and yet...it's leafy greens.

10 oz (284-g-pack) mixed lettuce
Orange Vanilla Vinaigrette 
1 cup pecans, toasted in the oven at 350ºF for 10 min.
12 figs (more or less, depending on size), stems removed, halved
1 cup vegan yogurt

Toss together the mixed lettuce and Orange Vanilla Vinaigrette.

Plate.

Arrange the figs on the salad. Sprinkle on the pecans. Dollop with teaspoons of yogurt.

Makes 4 meal-size salads.

PS Also good with red grapes cut in half lengthwise to replace the figs.

To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products.
