It tastes incredible over the whole roasted carrots, which are perfectly spiced with cumin and chili powder and roasted until tender and golden. The farro, with its lovely chewy texture, helps make this a meal that’s enjoyable in so many ways.

The roasted sweet carrots and caramel-y red onions paired with crunchy sweet corn in this seasonal Roasted Carrot Salad With Charred Scallion Cilantro Pesto from Zoe and Mia Lau is phenomenal. Corn kernels function as a healthier, cheaper substitute for the sweetness of dried fruits and the crunchiness of the nuts in salads. The charred scallion cilantro pesto is a sweet and vinegary sauce that is most commonly served with fresh seafood, but we think it tastes oh-so much better on this vegan salad.

12. CauliRice Tabbouleh Bowl

This is a grain and gluten-free take on traditional Tabbouleh. Cauliflower is such a versatile cruciferous vegetable. It’s great to use as rice in this dish and is super nutritious! The trick with this CauliRice Tabbouleh Bowl by Taryn Fitz-Gerald, is to try to get the cauliflower as dry as possible because slight moisture will lead to a soggy result. After rinsing and processing, place into a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess water. Since cauliflower doesn’t really have that much flavor, the fresh herbs and hint of heat from the chilli really rounds off the dish well. The lime also compliments all the unique flavors and the creamy avocado is the perfect subtle move to even out and tie all of the elements together. This cauliflower rice tabbouleh is the perfect balance of light and filling. It’s the perfect healthy summer meal! Enjoy!

13. Watermelon Gazpacho With Beet Noodles

I can’t even explain to you how amazingly refreshing this Watermelon Gazpacho With Beet Noodles
by Alissandra Maffucci is. The jalapeno gives it a kick, which goes with the sweetness of the watermelon fantastically. The texture is incredible – I like a thicker gazpacho, but if you like something soupier, just pulse in the blender or food processor for longer.

14. Immunity-Boosting Miso Soup
