Creating your Vegan Cobb Salad is easy and straightforward. Simply follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add lemon juice if desired. Set aside.

2. Wash and Chop Vegetables: Rinse the mixed greens thoroughly and dry them using a salad spinner. Chop or tear the greens into bite-sized pieces.

3. Chop Add-Ins: Dice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes if you haven’t done so already.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chickpeas, corn, and red onion.

5. Add Cheese and Nutritional Yeast: If using, sprinkle the vegan feta cheese and nutritional yeast over the salad for added flavor.

6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.

7. Finish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, adding an extra touch of flavor and color.

With these simple steps, you’ll have an incredible Vegan Cobb Salad ready to enjoy!
