A Swabian classic with a Greek touch: vegetarian Maultaschen salad served with fruity tomatoes and creamy avocado on crispy fresh leaf lettuce. Served with fresh herbs, roasted pine nuts and a matching honey-mustard dressing. The fried Maultaschen on salad is the perfect mix of fresh and hearty!
For me, Maultaschen are a rustic dish, especially compared to their Italian ravioli brothers. The Swabians enjoy their Maultaschen either in chicken broth or fried in butter with lots of roasted onions or maybe some sauerkraut as a side dish. We made Maultaschen at a friend’s house last month and rustic or not, they were absolutely delicious. Since we made so many we had enough left over for everyone to take home. We froze them for a week to have dinner over time.
What do you do with leftover Maultaschen? Very simple, we fry them in a pan until crispy and serve them on a wonderfully fresh and crunchy salad. Delicious and doesn’t feel like eating boring leftovers. 😉 We had vegetarian dumplings, but feel free to choose vegan or meat-filled versions.
