This yummy Plant-Based Walnut and Cress salad is super simple to make and is delicious with the plant-based aduki bean burgers and sweet potato chips, or with the plant-based falafel. You can also eat on its own with some crunchy wholemeal bread and spicy bean pate.
I’ve made it here with a simple lemon juice dressing, but it’s also good with balsamic vinegar and honey mustard dressing. You can find more info about some oil free salad dressings here.
I hope you find it as tasty as I do.
