    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE QUICK-PICKLED VEGGIES
    Stir together the hot water, apple cider vinegar, and sugar in a tall canning jar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrot, daikon, and cucumber to the jar, shake, and set aside for at least 30 minutes to marinate.


    TO MAKE THE OYSTER MUSHROOMS
    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Fill a shallow dish halfway with milk. In a separate shallow dish, sift together the rice flour and salt.

    Dip the mushroom pieces in the non-dairy milk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then in the rice flour. Arrange the crusted pieces on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes after lightly spraying both sides of the mushrooms with cooking oil spray. Bake for an additional 10 minutes after flipping the pieces.


    TO MAKE THE SALAD
    Toss the kale, napa cabbage, basil, cilantro, mint, and bread cubes together in a large mixing bowl. Divide the mixture among four serving bowls and top with the pickled vegetables. After that, divide the oyster mushrooms evenly among the salads.


    TO MAKE THE DRESSING
    Whisk together the rice vinegar, hoisin, and water. Drizzle it over the salad tops and serve.
    RECIPE NOTES

    Though regular basil works well here, if you can find Thai basil at an Asian or farmers' market, give it a try. It has a distinct flavour and is commonly used in traditional banh mi sandwiches.

    PANZANELLA – ITALIAN BREAD SALAD

    SERVES 1 LARGE OR 2 SMALL PORTIONS

  • 5 slices of French baguette
  • 8 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small cucumber
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 2 green onions
  • 3–4 sprigs of basil
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • squeeze of lemon juice

    Carbs: 62.3g
    Protein: 13.1g
    Sugar: 13.3g
    Sodium: 540mg

    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to the highest setting. Place the baguette slices in a bowl and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Mix in 4 tbsp. of the oil with your hands.

    Spread the bread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes in the centre of the oven, or until crisp (keep an eye on it, as you do not want it to burn). Allow to cool after removing from the oven.

    In the meantime, cut the cucumber into bite-sized chunks. Cut the tomatoes in half. Trim the green onions and cut them into rings. Remove the basil leaves and shred them. Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, basil, and bread cubes.

    To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Transport the dressing and salad separately and, ideally, combine them 20 minutes before serving to allow the bread to absorb the dressing.
