Ingredients
A nutty take on a fajita salad. Begin with a spring mix and top with a variety of tri-colored peppers, onion, and taco seasoning to give this dish a flavor-packed punch. Add feta cheese and a cashew butter lime dressing. Optionally add sour cream and a little ranch dressing or aioli. Alternatively swap out the feta with a Mexican cheese blend.
Directions
Wash the veggies with a vegetable washing solution. We use one part vinegar and one part water.
Then, in a deep medium-sized pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- We used Filippo Berio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (USDA Organic).
Begin chopping the tri-colored peppers and onion into strips. Add the peppers to the pan. Kent likes to sear the peppers on high for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to sweat.
Then add the onion, 1 pint of grape tomatoes (Optional: cherry tomatoes may be used instead of grape tomatoes), and taco seasoning on top of the veggies.
- We used Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix (25% Less Sodium than the Original Taco Seasoning Mix. A different taco seasoning of your choice may be used).
Continue cooking for about 5 minutes on medium. It may take another 5 minutes for the onions to turn translucent.
While the veggies continue to cook, add 1 cup of cashew butter to a separate medium pot and heat on medium.
- We used Once Again Unsweetened Creamy Cashew Butter (USDA Organic. Non-GMO Verified. Gluten Free Certified. Vegan. Kosher).
Next squeeze the juice of 2 limes into the pot followed by 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir frequently to avoid burning. The consistency will be thick, so feel free to add more water and/or lime juice to thin it out.
Add the veggies to a bed of spring mix.
- We used Nature’s Promise Organic (USDA Organic) Spring Mix (Non-GMO Ingredients. No Prohibited Synthetic Ingredients. No Prohibited Chemical Pesticides).
Drizzle the cashew butter lime dressing on top. Then sprinkle on 1/4 cup of feta cheese.
- We used President Feta Cheese Crumbles.
For a nice temperature contrast, add a dollop of sour cream. Also, a dash or two of ranch dressing or aioli to add a nice creamy flavor. Optionally swap out the feta with a Mexican cheese blend.
