Sheridan College (Ontario)
OP-7: Low Impact Dining

Vegetarian options are made available daily and can be deconstructed into vegan meals by request. Vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans (which are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fibre and nutrients) are available in many Sheridan/Chartwells food service outlets. Sources of protein such as beans, tofu, rice, corn and pastas are used as menu ingredients. (Additional food ingredients such as broccoli, tofu and fortified juices for calcium, and chickpeas, spinach, pinto beans, and soy products for iron are also added as menu ingredients to provide adequate calories and nutrients in addition to protein.) As an example, Chartwells’ ‘Whole + Sum’ program at Sheridan includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the diverse range of foods made by combining them to accommodate complete-protein vegan diets. Examples include: • Steamed Brown Rice • Red Rice Pilaf • Lebanese Tabbouleh • Cucumber Tomato Parsley Salad • Roasted Carrots with Cumin and Mint • Broccoli with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Lemon and Garlic • Spiced Garbanzo Beans and Eggplant • Greens with Herb Salad, Dried Cherries and French Dressing • Bulgur Salad with Chickpeas and Lemon • Balsamic Butternut Squash with Parsley • Grilled Asparagus • Shaved Fennel Salad with Oranges, Carrots and Pinenuts • Green Beans with Tomato Basil Salsa • Mediterranean Greek Salad • Poblano Brown Rice and Beans • Red Quinoa with Corn and Tomatoes • Farro Salad with Orange Cumin Dressing • Cilantro Jicama Slaw • Chayote Sauteed with Orange and Ancho Chili • Soba Noodles with Vegetables and Tea Sauce • Quinoa and Water Chestnut Salad • Braised Bok Choy with Sesame Seeds • Gingered Broccoli, Shiitake Mushrooms and Tomatoes • Roasted Kabocha Squash • Chinois Salad with Orange Peanut Dressing • Wild Rice Salad with Baby Garbanzo Beans • Wheat Berry with Orange Vinaigrette • Barilla Plus Penne Pasta with Broccoli and Lemon • Barley and Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms • Brown Basmati Rice Pilaf • Oven Baked Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pecans • Dill Potato and Apple Salad • Cauliflower Skordalia • Fresh Sugar Snap Peas with Crunchy Peanuts • Wedge Salad with Tomato Basil Relish
