There’s nothing vague about eating vegan: the focus is on plant-based food sources rather than any animal products. That’s where details like cashew butter come in, giving this lemon and garlic vinaigrette its velvety consistency. It dresses a tempting tabbouleh-style salad made from bulgur, kale and za’atar. The rest is drizzled over bite-size morsels of crisp cucumbers and tomatoes, along with roasted discs of sweet potatoes—hello, root candy!

Preparation
Roast the sweet potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the sweet potatoes into ½ inch rounds. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the za’atar and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 24 to 26 min., until browned and tender.
Cook the bulgur
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions), ½ the remaining za’atar and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, small-dice the cucumbers and tomatoes. Mince the garlic. Juice the lemon. In a small bowl, make the vinaigrette by whisking the cashew butter, garlic, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice (start with ½), 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining za’atar and S&P.
Make the kale tabbouleh
In a large bowl, combine the kale, 1 tbsp of the vinaigrette (double for 4 portions), a drizzle of oil and S&P. Massage the kale, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Add the bulgur; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the kale tabbouleh between your bowls. Top with the sweet potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
