Have you ever heard of a Signature Super Bowl Salad? Like my recent blog talking about the Shabbat Sushi Salad, my Vegan Seven Layer Salad has become my Signature Super Bowl dish and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It is all-American, but healthy, plant-based and delicious!
Last year three members of my family brought my now Signature Super Bowl dish to Super Bowl parties. My kids were annoyed I sent them off with my crazy vegan food. Yeah… well two out of two of the moms that received it asked me for the recipe! Ha!
Here are the 7 layers for your healthy Vegan Seven Layer Salad. (You can decide exactly how much of each ingredient to use based on the size of your crowd.)
1. Red – Combo of sliced grape tomatoes (start with one pint) and diced red pepper (probably 1- 2).
2. Orange – Shredded carrots, 1 bag
3. Yellow – 1 bag frozen corn, cooked and cooled
4. Green-1 bag frozen peas, cooked and cooled
5. Purple-Shredded purple cabbage, 1 bag
6. Dressing – 1 cup vegan mayo (such as Hellman’s), 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, a few tablespoons of water to thin if needed.
7. Top with Coconut Bacon and sliced Green Onions (only the green part)
Note – Feel free to use pre-shredded carrots and cabbage for your Vegan Seven Layer Salad. Freshly shredded carrots and cabbage will take the dish to another level, but don’t bother if you’re not up for it. Pro-tip: Use the shredding disc on your food processor to make tender, sweet, shredded veggies in 5 minutes flat.
Directions
Prepare your Vegan Seven Layer Salad ingredients by cooking or chopping. Use a large clear round or oval bowl, not too deep. Layer each ingredient in order, starting with the red layer (Or do the opposite and start with purple!). When you’ve finished with the last layer, mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl and taste to adjust any seasonings, add extra mayo, more syrup, etc… Pour the dressing over the top of the salad. Sprinkle on coconut bacon (You can decide the right amount but you almost certainly won’t use the whole recipe unless you’re really having a crowd.). Garnish with sliced green onions.
Two things occur to me right now. 1-I am obsessed with (naturally-occurring) rainbow food! 2 – I am obsessed with food as a healthy activity for kids! If you need an activity for kids around the Super Bowl, or if you think they might be picky about their salad ingredients, let them make their own Vegan Seven Layer Salads. And let me tell you, they will have a blast making the coconut bacon! You dump all the ingredients on a pan and use your (gloved!) hands to mix them up before baking. So fun! “It’s a snack and an activity,” as we like to say in my house! Enjoy!
