Waikiki Breakfast Salad

I recently spent 10 days in Honolulu with my mom, soaking up the sunshine and eating fresh food. It took a couple days to adjust to the time difference - the first night I couldn't get to sleep until past midnight, and still woke up at like, four in the morning.

Nothing a nap in the sun cannot fix, right?

We never really got past the early morning hours, though - always up by 5:30 or so. Most of our time on the island was spent at one of my favorite places, Embassy Waikiki Beach Walk. About two minutes to the beach, right in the middle of Beach Walk action and shops, daily cocktail hour and great breakfast.

Easy Poppyseed Dressing

I was able to find great plant based options at breakfast, and I ended up enjoying a massive salad pile each day. Salad for breakfast - I made it a thing.

I loved that there were massive bowls of greens available at the breakfast buffet! I had a salad from day one, and just never looked back. Miso soup was available, so there was a big bowl of tiny tofu cubes for the miso. I topped my salad with them instead.

Not a fan of salad for breakfast? These vegan breakfast recipes will have something to suit your cravings.

My salads in Hawaii had sriracha instead of dressing, but for this post vacation version I whipped up an Easy Poppyseed Dressing. I was looking for a slight punch of sweet, but you can use any dressing you like.

Plus sriracha.

so, who's with me - salad for breakfast?
