Pea Protein Fritter Salad Recipe (With CBD Vinaigrette!) (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Make the fritters: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, pea protein powder, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, cumin, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mash the peas with a fork or potato masher until they form a chunky mixture.

Form the fritters: Use your hands to form small fritters or patties from the mixture.

Cook the fritters: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the fritters and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Prepare the CBD vinaigrette: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the CBD oil and whisk again until everything is well combined.

Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and radishes. Toss lightly to combine.

Dress the salad: Drizzle the CBD vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.

Serve: Top the salad with the crispy pea protein fritters and sprinkle with hemp hearts for extra texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
