I wish it also had beautiful photos going for it because some recipes taste so good, they deserve to go viral. Alas, the photos aren't super gorgeous, but don't let that disuade you from this amazing recipe. Yes, it's meatless, but it's full of protein and flavors that won't leave you minding. Go ahead and try this great vegetarian dish tonight. You can even easily make it vegan by substituting out the mayo!
