Ingredients

For the Seitan:

200g seitan (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of black pepper

For the Salad:

4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, lettuce)
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
1 medium avocado, diced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

For the Dressing:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare the Seitan:

If you're using store-bought seitan, follow the package instructions for cooking or heating it. If you're using homemade seitan, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Add the seitan slices to the bowl and toss gently to coat them with the marinade.
Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Salad:

Wash and dry the salad greens, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad greens, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

Make the Dressing:

In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Cook the Seitan:

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Add the marinated seitan to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through and lightly browned.

Assemble the Salad:

Add the cooked seitan and diced avocado to the bowl of mixed greens and veggies.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve and enjoy!
