Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 onion chopped very fine or several scallions
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- dash of coriander and some cayenne
- 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vinegar and salt
Directions:
Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. I add about a
tablespoon of water and “toss” with my hand. (don’t ask me why it
seems to taste better!) This salad is especially tasty if it sits a
bit… Serve at room temp with vegan pita bread and something else yummy
like the soup above or falafil.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 4 pita’s
- oil
- onions
- canned tomatoes
- garlic
- canned kidney beans
- bean sprouts
- cucumber
- salsa or garlic sauce
- any kind of beans you can find
Directions:
Put some oil in a frying pan, add the chopped onions (as much as you like), add the canned tomatoes
with their juice, add the minced garlic, the beans, some mexican-spice mix (a lot if you ask me) let it simmer for awhile
until everything is really warmed.
Put the pita’s in a pre-heated oven (200 C) for 5 minutes.(this is the way you can buy them in Holland
I don’t know if that’s the case in the US, but just use pita’s you know…)
Take them out, slice them open, put some lettuce, sliced cucumber and slices of
fresh tomatoe in, add the bean-mixture.
Top all of this with some salsa or garlic-sause if you like.
It’s a bit tacky to eat, stuff keeps dripping on your fingers and hands but
it’s heavenly and if you don’t use much sauce almost no calories…
Enjoy.
