They're convenient as leftovers, they're good on bread or by themselves, they usually have a lot of fresh ingredients, and they're easy to get creative with.
That said, they're also my favorite lazy food because they require no cooking - just chopping and mixing! Hell. Yes.
I've never had 'corn salad' before, but it sounded pretty damn good...so I decided to try a recipe from "The Vegan Stoner" - a hella cute blog with all kinds of easy, delicious, cheap vegan recipes.

Ingredients:
Tofu
Whole Kernel Corn
Handful of Fresh Spinach
Two Spoonfuls of Vegenaise
Handful of Nutritional Yeast
A Few Shakes of Garlic Powder
Two Slices of Bread
Now, the blog doesn't specifiy on the amount of each thing....so here's the exact measurements that I used:
1/2 lb of tofu
1/2 can of corn
1/4 cup Vegenaise
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1. Drain tofu and canned corn.
2. Chop tofu and handful of spinach.
3. Toss tofu, corn, and spinach with 2 spoonfuls of veganaise.
4. Mix in a handful of nutritional yeast and a few shakes of garlic powder.
5. Spoon onto 2 slices of bread. (Ahem....I did not use bread, so I just spooned this into a bowl.)
6. Munch.
RATINGS:
Deliciousness: 5/5
Really delightful! A perfect salad for some toast, or by itself! The nutritional yeast really gives it that oomph, without being overwhelming. I added some ground pepper, which really brought it all together I think.
Ease of Preparation: 5/5
Easy as HAYELL. Just chop stuff and mix it. Favorite. :)
Prettiness: 5/5
Yellow and green and white and all kinds of textures....looks very summery.
