Summer Salad Bites + Rainbow Bowl with Avocado Wing Man Dressing (V, GF)
We have something uncouth to admit, something you may have suspected for quite some time now: We like to eat with our hands. Cutlery is just so cumbersome, don’t you agree? We are naturally predisposed to favour any dish which allows our utensils to continue to sit in their drawer slots.
Today’s Summer Salad Bites require no wielding of such tools, and make excellent use of in-season Ontario produce. Still, we won’t force our bad habits upon you. Observe the chopsticks in the photo above, which you are most welcome to employ if you were raised better than us.
You may dedicate your entire batch of fresh vegetables to fashion such bites, or use the remaining ingredients to create a Rainbow Bowl. Your fork will thank you. Whether you bite or bowl (or both!), top either option with a creamy Avocado Wing Man Dressing, and enjoy!
Ingredients:
Bowl + Bites Ingredients
1-3 cucumbers, sliced thinly length-wise
1 pack tofu, baked
1 purple cabbage, shredded
2 Ontario zucchini, spiralized or thinly sliced
1 radish, thinly sliced into disks
Large handful of arugula
Small Ontario tomato, diced
1 cob of corn, grilled
Dressing Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1 clove garlic
1 tbs Wing Man
Juice of half a lemon
1-2 tbs water
Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps:
Begin the Great Veggie Prep! Carefully wash your produce haul, and begin slicing and dicing. We used a spiralizer to get our zucchini into photogenic noodles, and a mandoline to slice our cucumber thinly along its length. If using a mandoline, please exercise care and caution to avoid kitchen injury. Careful knife work will do the trick if you are without such tools, or intimidated by gadgets.
If using tofu, slice into thin strips or cubes and bake at 400F for about 35 minutes. If using corn, boil or barbecue your cob, then de-cob the corn. Feel free to add whatever other produce your heart desires. Set all ingredients aside.
Prepare your dressing by mixing together all ingredients in your blender until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a Ziplock bag and cut a hole in the corner when you are ready to use.
Assemble your Salad Bites! Lay your thin cucumber slices out on a clean countertop or cutting board. Top each with a small sprinkling of tofu, cabbage, zucchini, radish, tomato, arugula, and corn. Get as many ingredients in there as you can, but avoid overloading, then top each with a generous piping of your dressing.
Roll your cucumbers into sushi-like bites. The dressing should act as a binding and keep your bites together, but some toothpicks will also help if you find your bites seem inclined to unfurling themselves.
After you have assembled (and consumed) as many bites as you desire, add all the remaining produce to a large salad bowl and top with leftover dressing. Add pumpkin seeds or nuts as garnish. Voilà, a Rainbow Bowl.
