What you need:
For the coconut bacon:
1 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1½ teaspoons liquid smoke
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
For the dressing:
¾ cup hemp seeds
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried dill
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup water
For the salad:
1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into quarters
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup chopped raw pecans
¾ cup diced red onion
What you do:
- For the coconut bacon, in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat, add coconut flakes, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and maple syrup. Mix until evenly coated. Saute 5 to 10 minutes until crisp and golden, stirring continuously to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
