Chopped Seitan Salad
I love a good salad! The chopped seitan makes this salad more of a full meal than just a side. Plus it’s a great use for leftover seitan. Waste not want not. We made seitan ribs this past weekend and chopped up the leftovers. The smoky BBQ flavor was amazing on the Chopped Seitan Salad. Yum! If you have a food processor use it to chop the seitan. It shreds it in to fine little piece and the texture is really nice. Don’t have a food processor or don’t want to drag it out? No problem! Just chop it up finely with a knife.

We used to have an Air Fryer, and I loved it until it broke. That was a sad sad day. Luckily our new oven is also a convection oven. I have tested this recipe for Oven Fried Cauliflower by baking normally and using the convection oven setting (like any air fryer).…
