Vegan: Salad Sandwich

Last evening, I finally got around to making a salad.

The beauty of this quick meal is that it can be eaten plain or you can create a sandwich, see! My daughter and I opted for a sandwich.

What’s in it? Cucumbers, kale, yellow onion, red bell peppers, and hummus. The hummus was made by me a few days ago and it’s the creamiest one I’ve made… yet. The hummus had black beans, red beans, sweet potato, garlic, turmeric, and lime.

I don’t eat too much bread (neither does my daughter) but when I do, I typically reach for a sprouted grain bread. Yesterday, was the first time I tried this type of bread and I must say that I’m really enjoying the chewy texture.

I purchased the bread from MOM’s organic market. This is a store that I’ve been wanting to check out since my VeganMomma (website) days, so that’s was well over nine years ago. That store was over an hour away. I never got around to visiting that location. Well, a few years ago, they opened up a store that is about 15 minutes away from our home., which is close to where my daughter has her homeschool co-op, so I figured… why not? After her class was over, we finally stopped by and we both loved it a lot. I purchased a few items, like their rice, extra thick rolled oats, ginger beer, coconut sugar and two tomatoes. Perhaps I should write a post about what I bought or even better when I go back to the store… take pictures. The employees at MOM’s organic located in Nottingham, MD,  are super friendly and I’ll definitely be going back there.

Currently, I’m sipping on rooibos tea. I purchase my spices/herbs in bulk (typically whole) to my rooibos, I’ve added milk thistle and black cumin seeds.

Isn’t my silicone tea infuser adorable? I purchased it from Amazon. Yes, that’s an affiliate link.

Here’s a picture of one of my cabinets. The other cabinets look a lot like this. We mainly eat whole foods, so processed food is almost non-existant.
