Don't despair my vegan friends. I haven't gone back to the dark side ;) As you know (or not) I live a 99% vegan lifestyle and wild Cambodian raw honey is one of the exceptions I make in my plant-based life.
In Cambodia, it is not always easy to find the things you need. As it seems the stores are out of good quality maple syrup and it is taking ages to stock up. Though I'm doing quite well on living the vegan life, not sure if I will ever be able to give up honey....
I'm even thinking of getting a beehive to bring some more bees into this world. The place we are moving to in just 2 weeks has a project running to spread more beehives around the town and bring the much-needed pollinators back....
More to come on this topic if we decide to take one of their beehive-starting boxes ;)
If you are a 100% percent vegan I'm sure this dressing will taste good will maple too ;)
Easy Avocado, Daikon Radish, Red beet, Cucumber and Arugula Salad with Honey (or Maple) Balsamic Dressing
Ingredients (serves 2)
For the salad
- 1/2 avocado, cubed
- 1 cup raw red beet, cubed (I love raw beet but if it taste too earthy for you, you can use cooked beet)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, cubed
- 1/2 cup daikon radish, cubed
- 3-4 cup arugula or rocket lettuce
- 3-4 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds
For the dressing
- 1 tsp honey or maple for 100% vegans
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper
Directions
- Wisk together all dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Toast sunflower seeds in a dry pan.
- Cut all the salad ingredients and add them to a plate or bowl. Top with sunflower seeds and drizzle with balsamic dressing.
Enjoy this colorful treat ✨✨✨

Thanks! Everybody on his own path ;) No pressure to becoming 100% vegan or vegetarian. Meat can be a healthy part of the diet... it all depends on where it comes from though. And these days people just eat too much of it. No need to eat it every day. Already happy to hear that you are adding more vegs and fruits and appreciating vegan dishes...

Looks sublime! I really don't have an issue with honey. I love the taste, and don't think it is cruel to have bees.

You are really creative @amy-goodrich. I couldn't imagine combining daikon radish and avocado until you posted this. :) Well, I know avocado is just so creamy! Plus, radish can be so good to our body. :) Thanks !
