Dr Praeger's Veggie Burger Review, Bonus Salad Recipe

When I buy premade food I always think twice, because I have purchased things that look good

on the package, but taste terrible.

I had a coupon for this product, so I thought next time in the store I would give it a try.

The first thing I did was read the ingredients, I was surprised, it was mostly vegetables,

the first ingredient was carrots, they had very little fillers, which is great.

Some "veggie burgers" are full of fillers, and not much veggies.

They are vegan and gluten free:)

The real test is how they taste!

The first way I made them was in the toaster oven, until lite brown edges. (15 minutes)
The middle stays soft, but the outside gets a lite crust!

They have a nice vegetable flavor, all the vegetables melt together very nicely:)

I did have to add a pinch of sea salt, to the top of the burger.

It just heighten the flavors. 

This burger flavor is something I have never had before, it is very good:)

I would definitively recommend this burger to any one:)

I have eaten this burger several times in different ways.

They always come out delicious. Here is a link, they make many other products! drpraegers.com

Today, I made a salad, so I decided to add a crumbled burger on top.
I cooked it and let it cool, then crumbled it over my salad!
My salad consisted of lettuce, avocado, Follow Your Heart Cheese (vegan)
sprinkling of dill, and parsley, and finally a few dollops of vegan mayo.
I always sprinkle sea salt over my lettuce before adding anything, and
to finish it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil:)
This salad was sooooooo good with the addition of the veggie burger, it combined with the creamy
avocado, and all the other flavors aaammmmmaaaaaaazzzzzzzziiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggg!
My best salad to date:)
I would recommend the veggie burgers highly!
I think my next dish with the "burgers" are going to be a avocado veggie burger sandwich:)

Creamy Cauliflower Soup with a hint of Dill (surprise addition) Served cold or hot

When I make soup, sometimes I like to puree it, but not everyone likes it pureed.
I saw someone grating their cauliflower, so I thought if I grate it I'm giving everyone
what they want;) I added dill to it because I like the distinctive flavor and it adds some color!
Very simple recipe to make, and it is great for a large crowd.
So if you see cauliflower at the farmers market buy it, you have a recipe for it.
A finishing touch is adding roasted salted cashews to the middle of the bowl before serving!
It really works with the crunch and sweetness from the cauliflower!


Creamy Cauliflower Soup and a hint of Dill
makes 3 cups

1 1/2  cups grated cauliflower
3/4 cup milk (I used oat milk)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup of roasted salted cashew's
1 Tablespoon vegan butter
3 teaspoons potato starch (any starch you like)
a sprig of dill (finely chopped about 2 teaspoons)
sea salt to taste


With a box grater use the medium holes and simply wash the cauliflower and grate it.
In a medium soup pot on medium heat melt butter, add cauliflower and a good pinch of sea salt.
Cook 3-4 minutes don't let the cauliflower brown! Keep stirring until soft.
Mix 3/4 cup of water to the potato starch until smooth.
Then add the water starch mixture and milk to cauliflower and reduce temperate to low.
Mix until thickened, add 2 good pinches of sea salt.
Remove from heat, add finely chopped dill.
Add more sea salt to taste.
Before serving, divide the cashews and place in the middle of the individual bowls.
Tip: You can also serve cold it is delicious.
