Create an indulgent, visually stunning meal without an immense amount of effort! (Naturally, you can craft your own pastry if you prefer – it’s an enjoyable process!)
What captivates me most about this vegan pot pie are the vegetables. The arrival of spring brings forth lively and fresh produce that our bodies eagerly crave. Yes, there’s the puff pastry crust, but the array of gorgeous vegetables harmoniously counterbalances it. The fusion of these elements is simply divine!
37. Carrot Quinoa Salad
Carrot Quinoa Salad with Almonds and Raw Apple Cider Vinaigrette – a scrumptious vegan dish that can be prepared in advance. Introducing a straightforward Carrot Quinoa Salad featuring toasted almonds, celery, cilantro, and scallions, all combined with a zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette.

This effortless vegetable salad is the perfect introduction to the season. Present it as a straightforward side dish or incorporate a preferred protein to transform it into a well-rounded main course.
35. Spring Vegetable Tortellini Soup with Pesto
This wholesome soup is founded on a pair of universally appealing ingredients: tortellini and pesto. It consists of a flavorful broth, abundant in vegetables, and offers boundless adaptability. You have the option to utilize ready-made or homemade broth and pesto, and effortlessly substitute any available vegetables. The remaining soup serves as an excellent lunch option for the following day.
34. Pasta Primavera
Creating this pasta primavera dish is a delight for me, especially after visiting the farmers market during the early summer months. I return with bags brimming with an array of fresh produce. Some contain fleeting spring vegetables such as asparagus and peas, while others are filled with the beginnings of summer offerings like zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes. The convergence of these spring and summer vegetables is short-lived, making it a moment to be commemorated. As a result, I prepare a batch of pasta, sauté the vegetables, and combine them to craft this delectable pasta primavera meal.
33. Healthy Spring Root Veggie Salad
Prepare this revitalizing watercress salad as a nutritious option for a springtime feast! I appreciate the interplay between the tender greens and vibrant root vegetables, creating a delightful and appetizing meal.
In this salad, I roasted a few for texture and sweetness. I thinly shaved the rest, marinated them in a lemony dressing along with a shaved radish, and kept them raw.
32. Whipped Feta & Artichoke Flatbread
Blending feta cheese and a touch of yogurt produces a savory, piquant spread that complements marinated artichokes and flame-kissed red peppers beautifully. A sprinkling of fresh arugula enhances the overall experience with its crisp, green touch.
31. Orange-Mint Freekeh Salad with Lima Beans, Radishes and Oranges
This vibrant salad boasts an array of vivid ingredients: refreshing mint, crunchy sugar snap peas, zesty radishes, and juicy oranges. To create visually appealing sugar snap pea slivers, slice them lengthwise into slender strips.
30. Avocado Pesto Toast
It’s hard to believe, but a few acquaintances of mine aren’t fans of brunch. Unthinkable, isn’t it? I absolutely adore unhurried, extensive, and leisurely brunches when the opportunity arises. Most of the time, I choose something savory – about 99% of the time, to be precise.
The variety and inventiveness that can be achieved with typical vegetarian breakfast and brunch ingredients – such as eggs, bread, vegetables, tortillas, beans, and so on – is truly remarkable. The potential combinations are infinite, and there are several eateries in my area that excel in offering imaginative plant-based choices.
29. French Carrot Salad
I had no idea that a simple, uncooked carrot dish could stir up such enthusiasm in me. It appears I hadn’t experienced a genuine French carrot salad before! What about you? These salads are commonplace in France, and we’ve been in the dark.
My personal preference leans towards robust and intense flavors. However, the French carrot salad (salade de carottes râpées) offers a subtle interplay of sweet, uncooked carrot, zesty lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and aromatic herbs. This dish demonstrates the beauty of simplicity and offers a surprisingly sophisticated taste profile.
28. Cranberry Quinoa Pasta Salad Recipe
Pasta salad with quinoa and cranberries is a delicious vegan appetizer, side dish, or even main meal. It’s a lovely vegan pasta salad for spring or summer. My kids actually really think it’s tasty. I make cranberry quinoa pasta salad for BBQs and cookouts and people love it.

However, upon relocating to Paris, kale became a scarce commodity. Not only was there no French term for it, but also nobody seemed to know about it, and it was simply unobtainable. That’s when my desire for kale emerged.
