5-Minute Vegan Taco Salad (Video)
Today I’m excited to be sharing something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: recipe videos!

It’s not really a recipe, but just something I throw together whenever I don’t feel like cooking, but still want something super tasty and healthy to eat. Take a look when you have a moment 🙂
