Notes

Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan on low flame for roasted garlic. Add 6 to 8 garlic cloves crushed and saute until golden in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
For more protein, you can add greens like spinach or kale, avocado, crumbled feta cheese, quinoa, or chickpeas.
For more additional crunch, add almonds or hemp seeds.
Make the dressing, prep the veggies, and toss the crispy soya granules when you are ready to serve to enjoy the texture better.
Adjust the spices to your taste.
