Vegetables, take a bow. These vegan salads celebrate the best of the season’s produce in the freshest way possible, and in good company with hersb, grains and flavoursome dressings.
NOTE: For recipes involving soy sauce, be sure to use a vegan brand such as Kikkoman, as some brands include fish sauce. Similarly, for recipes involving chicken stock, use a vegan-friendly option. Massel’s vegan-based stocks are available at most supermarkets.
