So vegans are coming to the cookout? I’ve got you covered!
Cookout season is officially upon us now that the summer solstice is behind us. For many this means hosting, others, cooking and most just showing up and eating other people’s food. Regardless of the category you fall into, this is my official plea to remember the vegans in your life when choosing which dishes to include on the menu. Before you freak out and start feeling overwhelmed by the restrictions, remember that vegans can’t eat everything but all your omnivore guests can eat vegan dishes. Just sayin’!
I’ve learned to appreciate side dishes since I began eating a vegan diet. I actually prefer it at times because of the variety in flavor profiles and nutrients. Besides, if there is anywhere where putting a mishmash of different foods on your plate is recommended, it’s at a BBQ.
If you are up to the task and want to be crowned hostess with the mostess again this year, here are 20 delicious vegan dishes all your guests will love just in time for your Canada Day and 4th of July celebrations!
