Easy Vegan Recipes for the Weekend


Hi Reader,

Memorial Day weekend is here, and if you’re planning a casual cookout, picnic, or just a low-key meal at home, I wanted to share a few recipes that are easy to prep and perfect for warmer weather.


I just love all of the fresh flavors and textures in this Italian pasta salad. Pair it with my Oil-Free Italian Dressing for a refreshingly light take on this classic potluck dish.


Every cookout needs at LEAST two different kinds of pasta salad, right? And look...if you're having burgers, the flavors in this one are a slam-dunk pairing.


The quintessential start-of-summer dish! I feel like I share this coleslaw a lot, but I just really love it. No mayo needed - the dressing has the perfect balance of tangy, savory, and a hint of sweet.


The positive reviews keep rolling in for these burgers. If you haven't tried them yet, now seems like a great time! :)


Okay, I know I said "easy" recipes, and yes, making seitan ribs is a little more involved, but the effort is totally worth it!


When you need an easy cookie that travels well, you can't go wrong with peanut butter. Or if you need a peanut-free option, try these Sunbutter cookies.


If none of these are quite what you're looking for, you can browse all of my vegan recipes here:

Hi Reader, I set out to make a simple bean salad. Then I thought... why stop there? Well, that's not the whole story. While brainstorming ways to make it extra special, I came across a recipe online from The Kitch'n for a grinder bean salad (not vegan). If you're not familiar with a grinder, it's basically an Italian sub loaded with deli meats, cheese, lettuce, pepperoncini, and Italian vinaigrette. At the same time, I'd been thinking about creating a vegan antipasto recipe. Since there's so...
