Equipment

  • Small frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g salad mix
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 5 tbsp water

Seasonings

  • ¼ tsp dried vegetable stock
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Salad dressing

  • 50 g ultra light mayo
  • 15 g red pesto
  • water (to thin out dressing)

Instructions
 

  • Mix the honey, soy sauce, seasonings and water together then toss the meat free chunks in the sauce.
  • Cook the chunks on a frying pan on medium heat, mixing periodically.
  • Once the sauce has thickened and the water has evaporated, remove from the heat and give it a good stir to ensure all of the chunks are nicely coated.
  • Make the dressing by mixing the ultra light mayo and red pesto together. Add water bit by bit until desired consistency is reached.
  • Measure out the salad mix and add to a bowl. Add the meat free chunks and top with the dressing. Add any toppings you would like and enjoy.
