Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425. Check to see if you have a vegan sour cream or cashew/tofu cream, because you’ll need it later. If you are out and making cashew cream, this is the time to soak your cashews.

Step 2

Grab a large sheet pan and line it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Take your prepped fennel, garbanzo beans, bell pepper, cauliflower and line them up together without mixing everything on the sheet pan.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the veggies, then sprinkle your spices of salt, pepper, granulated garlic, coriander, and paprika next. Gently toss each ingredient to coat the veggies as carefully as possible without mixing all the veggie together.

Step 4

Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are fork tender and are starting to become golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

If you have to make a cashew/tofu cream, this is the time to make it. Both recipes are in my cookbook “Cook. Heal. Go Vegan!” or the cashew cream is '“here” on the blog.

Step 6

As the veggies are roasting, grab a 16oz mason jar and add all your dressing ingredients together, and then stir until fully mixed. Set aside. This is your honey mustard dressing! Great as a meal prep by itself. Dressing lasts about 5-7 days refrigerated.

Step 7

When the veggies are fork tender, remove from the oven and let them cool almost completely. (Tip: If you try to build the jars without letting the veggies cool, they will fog up the inside of the mason jar with condensation which causes them to go soggy much faster and reduce the shelf life by about half.)

Step 8

After the veggies are cooled, it’s time to build your mason jar salads. Take your dressing and divide it evenly to the bottom of four 32oz mason jars. Next add each 1/2 avocado sliced into each mason jar, but carefully with a spoon. Don’t drop it otherwise it will splatter, rather rest it down in the dressing with the spoon. Take your 1 lemon and squeeze dash of lemon juice into each jar over the avocado. The citrus from the lemon will help the avocado from oxidizing inside the jar.

Step 9

Divide the roasted garbanzo beans into all four jars over the avocado slices. Then build from here in order of fennel slices, bell pepper slices, cauliflower florets, shredded purple cabbage, hemp seeds, goat cheese, and then lastly top all the jars with baby arugula.

Step 10

Cap each jar with a lid, and store upright in the fridge for 4-6 days. Enjoy as a meal prep as mid-week lunches or as a last minute snack. To eat, simply pour out the entire jar into a bowl. Gravity is your friend here, and it works in a way that when you pour it out into a bowl, the dressing is over the top of your salad and the greens on the bottom! Mix it up and enjoy!
