Ingredients
Meatless Crumble Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) Taco Seasoned Plant Protein Mix
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ tablespoon salsa (optional)
- 1 tablespoon oil for pan frying
Dressing Ingredients
- ¼ cup vegan mayo
- 1½ tablespoon fresh lime juice (from ½ small lime)
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons taco seasoning

- ½ cup corn, frozen or canned (drained if canned)
- ½ small red onion, diced

Directions
Making Meatless Crumbles
- Put Taco Seasoned Plant Protein Mix into a bowl. In a separate cup, combine water and salsa (see Note).
- Gradually add water into the bowl while stirring frequently with a fork. Stop adding water when the mixture is just moist. If the mix is too dry, add one teaspoon of water at a time and continue stirring until the dry mix is no longer visible. Let mixture rest while you heat up the pan.
- Heat a wide pan over medium heat. Add oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Break mixture into crumbles and add it to the pan in a single layer. Fry for about 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until crispy. Remove crumbles from pan and let cool.
Assemble the Salad
- Heat a wide pan over medium heat. Add oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add corn and sautee for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.
- To make the dressing, add the vegan mayo, lime juice and taco seasoning to a large bowl. Whisk until ingredients are well blended.
- To the dressing, add the crumbles, red onions, red pepper, corn and cilantro. Toss well to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Cover the salad and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
