Mojito Fruit Salad

This refreshing fruit salad with mint and lime tastes just like a sweet mojito but without any alcohol!

Loaded Vegan Potato Skins

This is a healthy, mouthwatering comfort food. With a Creamy Vegan Cheese sauce, a dusting of smoked paprika, and chives and cilantro for garnish, it's sure to impress.

Cauliflower Breakfast Scramble

There are many excellent recipes for scrambles, but most call for tofu. In this recipe, cauliflower takes the place of the tofu—with delicious results.

Hoppin' John Salad

Plant-based dishes aren’t just healthy—they can be hearty too. Even salads! With a base of rice and beans, this Southern-inspired favorite is protein-packed, fiber-filled, and delicious. The fresh celery gives it a delightful crunch, and the parsley adds a refreshing burst of herbaceous flavor.

Greek Salad with Tofu "Feta"

This Greek salad is great as a side with pizza or pasta. You can also serve it on its own or with whole grain bread. For the greens, we recommend a balanced mixture of arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce. The peppery flavor of the arugula is a delicious complement to the Kalamata olives and marinated tofu!

Soy Curl Chicken Salad

This is a knock-your-socks-off salad featuring Soy Curls, vegan mayonnaise, veggies, and herbs. Soy Curls have a meaty, chewy texture that will fool your most avid meat-eating friends. Serve on bread or rolls with your favorite toppings—we like lettuce, sprouts, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

Vegan French Onion Soup

French onion soup is a classic that gets its flavor from deeply caramelized onions. This vegan version has every bit of the flavor, with only a fraction of the fat. Topped with sourdough bread and vegan mozzarella, you will be amazed by its incredible texture and rich taste.

Baked Tomatoes with Lentils

Compared to other dried beans, lentils cook quickly and easily. They work well in stuffings and loaves. We especially like them with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and oregano. For an even heartier version, you can use whole grain bread crumbs.

Curried Rice

Who needs takeout when you can quickly combine rice and vegetables for a delicious curry meal?

Fast and Easy Romesco Sauce

When a sauce is this delicious, it has to take center stage! This whole food, plant-based twist on a classic Spanish sauce is finger-licking good! You’ll want to put it on everything.

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp

This plant-based blueberry oatmeal crisp is a delicious and healthy dessert option that's easy to make. It's made with juicy blueberries, wholesome oats, and sweetened with dates to create a guilt-free treat that's packed with flavor and nutrition. You can even enjoy it as a sweet breakfast!

Key Lime Avocado Pie

This refreshing tropical dessert is so easy to make! It has no cream, eggs, butter, or processed graham crackers—just a creamy tart-and-sweet lime pudding atop a walnut and oat crust. Fresh avocados with a splash of coconut milk are the secret to this much-loved update to the traditional recipe.
