Tu NOT Salad

By Pamela Schmidlin, Certified Health Coach, Professional Photographer and Videographer, Professional Dog Trainer, and Swiss American Vegan Gal

Recently, a fellow YouTuber, posted a video on a great salad alternative. Growing up most of us probably have had a tunafish sandwich right?...(I said MOST!) Well as a vegan, you don't have to give up these types of sandwiches, you just have to substitute healthier options into the mix.

So I responded to her video on YouTube by making my version of  Tu NOT Salad, and making it into a wrap without bread!

Of course, there are always other options to replace, any ingredients I used but I feel that my version has the"fishy" taste of Tuna without the FISH! I actually prefer Earth Balance Vegan Mayo, but here it goes.....check out my video below!

If you choose you can offer the TU NOT Salad to your dog, and share the meal- I would leave off the lettuce wrap though.  Otherwise, everything is safe and healthy for the whole Six Legged Companion team!

 
I hope you enjoyed this video, you can watch Sarah's version on her YouTube channel at TheVegetablife or check her website out at www.The Vegetablife.com.
