Vegan Shawarma Salad Plate – Gluten-Free!

One of my favorite takeout meals is the shawarma plate from a Middle Eastern restaurant down the street from us. I crave the combination of salty, savory and tart flavors. Typically I’ll get the rice and potatoes subbed out for more salad, but they don’t have a vegetarian option for when I want something plant-based. So what’s a food blogger/dietitian to do? Here is my vegan version of a Shawarma Salad Plate – and it’s gluten-free too!

Check out the recipe for my Vegan Shawarma Salad Plate below… or design your own with some of these fun options!

Shawarma Salad – Essential Ingredients

  • Romaine lettuce 
  • Tomatoes
  • Chickpeas or lentils

 

Shawarma Salad – Optional Ingredients

  • Pickled turnip (trust me, it’s awesome)
  • Dill pickles, sliced (if you can’t find the pickled turnip)
  • Radishes (thinly sliced)
  • Red onion (thinly sliced)
  • Olives
  • Pita cut into triangles or pita chips, broken up into pieces (gluten-free)
  • Parsley
  • Hummus
  • Hot peppers

Shawarma Salad Dressing Options

For a quick option, I’ll use a fresh ranch salad dressing on my shawarma salad. I also love this with my Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing. It’s absolutely perfect!
