If you want a salad that can wow – and one that you can even make without a recipe – this vegan Mediterranean BLT salad is a scrumptious pick! The key to it is paying attention to every single ingredient like each is the most important part of the salad.

You can use as much or as little of each ingredient that suits your style. But I suggest going a bit more minimalist with the presentation (rather than dumping everything into a big bowl) to make it seem extra special.

Here’s how I make it: Smear lemony-tahini dressing on a salad plate; delicately top with baby arugula or microgreens, heirloom cherry tomatoes plus sea salt, Persian (or mini) cucumber ribbons (strips), baby bella bacon bits or diced plant-based mushroom jerky, fresh mint leaves, sumac-toasted (or plain pan-toasted) pine nuts, lemon zest, and zaatar-seasoned pita croutons or small pieces multigrain pita chips; and if you want, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to finish. That’s it!
