Getting Creative: Great New Recipe

By Yonni @vegandthecity
I am so excited!  I just found two new amazing vegan staples...brand new must haves for my refrigerator.

The first one is Follow Your Heart vegan parmesan.  I don't know how they pulled it off, but instead of the other powdery versions on the market, this one looks and tastes like actual shredded parmesan. I have not cooked with it yet, so I don't know how evenly it melts, but it is so good, you will want to pop a few shreds in your mouth before your sprinkle some more on your food.  I told you - it's exciting!

The second one is vegan pesto by Gotham Greens.  I challenge you to serve this pesto to non-vegan guests and see if anyone notices.  DE-licious!

I had a super lackluster barely toasted English muffin this morning with a little tomato, cucumber and avocado, so I wanted something healthy and satisfying for lunch this afternoon.  This 5 ingredient concoction was exactly what I was looking for, and it could not be easier.

Into one gallon Ziploc bag add:

1 package of steamed lentils (you could certainly use chickpeas or black beans too, or instead)

1 pack of coleslaw veggies
1 pack broccoli slaw veggies
1/3 container Follow Your Heart parmesan
1/2 container of Gotham Greens vegan pesto

Seal the bag well and massage the bag until all of the ingredients are well combined.  Grab a bowl and serve it right up, or set it aside for later.  When you are ready to eat, you could add some diced avocado or sunflower seeds, and accompany it with a great sourdough with some olive oil for dipping.
