Bloody Mary tomato salad is just as good as it sounds |
Because we know you're wondering: No, there's no vodka in Hetty McKinnon's Bloody Mary tomato salad. But her recipe nails the flavors and textures of the classic cocktail, with juicy tomatoes, crisp celery and sharp onion in a tangy dressing spiked with hot sauce. Instead of Worcestershire sauce, Hetty uses a combination of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar for that hit of umami, making her salad vegan. |
Also vegan is Denai Moore's melon and cho cho salad, a new recipe adapted by Bryan Washington for The New York Times Magazine. If you have trouble finding chayote (the cho cho), you could sub in slices of crunchy jicama or cucumber, or add in more of your favorite melon. The recipe's combination of refreshing fruit, green herbs, acidic dressing and nutty crunch is both flexible and unbeatable. |
