The Skinny Wedge
Serves 4
Time 45 min
This delicious salad takes its inspiration from the steakhouse classic, and heads in a healthier direction. Diced roasted mushrooms make a terrifically flavorful and satisfying stand-in for traditional bacon crumbles.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 12 shiitake mushroom caps (from about 4 ounces mushrooms)
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey, divided
- 2/3 cup silken tofu, drained
- 1/2 cup no-salt-added rinsed and drained canned white beans
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch fine sea salt
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 skinny wedges iceberg lettuce (from about 1/2 head)
- 1 1/3 cup very thinly sliced Lacinato (dinosaur) kale leaves
Method
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, toss mushrooms with soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the honey, and spread over the baking sheet.
Roast until dried and slightly crisped, 25 to 30 minutes, turning mushrooms once halfway through cooking.
Cool and dice.
Meanwhile, combine tofu, beans, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon honey, lemon juice, salt and cayenne in a blender, and puree.
Place a wedge of iceberg on each of 4 salad plates and top with kale.
Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with diced mushrooms.
