1. Tofu Vegetable Kebabs With Peanut Sauce

After reading this recipe for Tofu Kebabs With Spicy Peanut Sauce, you are bound to have a new summer favorite for the grill. The smoky peanut flavor coating the tofu will make you fall in love. After biting these kebabs, you will be a tofu person (if you are not already).

2. Simple Summer Macaroni Salad

While the black bean burgers and the veggie kabobs get all the attention, it’s the side salads, appetizers, dips, and chips that really steal the show. This super easy and totally creamy Macaroni Salad is right on the top of that list of things that will soak up the glory. Pasta is tossed with crisp vegetables like bell pepper, celery, and onion with pickles providing a tangy, salty punch that will leave everybody coming back for a second helping.

3.  Life-Changing Cheese Sauce

Sometimes all a recipe needs is to be smothered in Cheese Sauce. Baked potato? Put some cheese sauce on it. Roasted broccoli? Pretty much meant to be eaten with cheese sauce. This life-changing cheese sauce is your new secret weapon in the kitchen. You won’t believe how authentically cheesy it tastes! And get this — it’s super easy!

4. Sticky Baked BBQ Tempeh Strips

Nothing says summer like sticky, smoky, barbecue-sauce-slathered eats. Just because you’re following a plant-based diet, doesn’t mean you don’t get to enjoy a “meaty,” saucy meal! This oil-free Sticky BBQ Tempeh Strips would make a delicious addition to your backyard get-together this summer or anytime you’re looking for an easy vegan dish that everyone will love. Just make sure to cook a couple of batches!

5. Chipotle Cauliflower Jalapeño Fritters

These spicy and appetizing Chipotle Cauliflower Fritters are pure magic. You can make them ahead in big batches and freeze them, crisping them up in the oven again just before serving. Who’s the coolest person at your next potluck? You are!

6. Tikka Masala Cauliflower and Chickpeas 

Tikka masala is a popular Indian curry dish that is traditionally made with meat – but this vegan version is made with Cauliflower and Chickpeas! The homemade spice blend gives this easy meal a spicy, flavorful kick.

7. Crab Cakes With Sweet Balsamic Mayo

These crispy chickpea Crab Cakes With Sweet Balsamic Mayo are easy to whip up and taste very similar to traditional crab cakes. As they cook, your house will even smell a little like the seaside, thanks to the addition of dulse flakes. Serve with the sweet balsamic mayo on a toasted bun with a squeeze of lemon juice or try it on a salad.

8. Jalapeño ‘Cheddar’ Knots 

Adding a hint of heat to anything whether it be the focal point or just a hint enhances the flavor and actually help you burn calories due to peppers containing capsacian! This recipe for Cheddar Knots may seem like it has a lot of steps or time, but the instructions are seamless. It’s easy, cheesy, has minimal ingredients, doesn’t have to be perfect, packs heat, and is perfect for any season.

9. Spicy Grilled Cauliflower Summer Bowl 

This Spicy Grilled Cauliflower Summer Bowl is a fresh, tasty dish made with spicy grilled cauliflower, a fresh salad, and black rice tossed with a refreshing mint coriander oil. Cauliflower is marinated in a spicy sauce seasoned with chili powder, smoky cumin, garlic paste, and turmeric powder that pairs perfectly with the refreshing mint coriander dressing.

10. One-Pot Thai Tofu Coconut Curry

Who doesn’t love curry and tofu made in one pot? They are the perfect partners in crime but don’t fear there is no crime against your figure here. This recipe for One Pot Thai Tofu Coconut Curry is light and oh-so divine. Don’t be surprised if you end of making it a few times a month. Serve over your favorite grain and enjoy!

11. Creamy Baked Beans

The combination of sweet potatoes and beans alone is perfect, however, soaked in a tomato sauce flavored with the taste of leeks, garlic, and mushroom is just the best. The good news for this Creamy Baked Beans recipe is that the summer is here, and we all know that there is no better season for tomatoes than summer! The tomatoes are also incredibly healthy and good for you so make sure you include them in your meals this summer. Here’s a delicious meal to start you off.

12. Raw Raspberry Cheesecake

This Raw Raspberry Cheesecake is a perfect example of being able to make awesome stuff with a lack of equipment. Just a garden variety food processor and freezer are all you need. I like to serve this raw cake with a handful of raspberries blended up with a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup.

13. Creamy Yellow Split Pea and Spinach Dahl 

This Creamy Yellow Split Pea and Spinach Dahl is a simple yet nutritious meal bursting with plant-based goodness. A one-pot comforting meal enhanced by the warming heat of spices and ginger.

14.  Sunshine Lemon Ice Cream Cake

This Sunshine Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Cake will brighten up your day no matter the season – it’s that delicious. The rich, chewy date crust is topped with a luxuriously creamy banana coconut cake that’s accented with hints of fresh lemons and a pinch of ginger.

15. Curry Roasted Cauliflower and Red Onions 

Amazing and flavorful, crispy and soft, this Curry-Roasted Cauliflower is a necessary addition to your weekly dinner rotations. Fresh cauliflower is roasted with turmeric, cumin, garam masala, and tangy red onion until everything is tender and cooked through. Serve these warm, spiced florets with greens, grains, and anything else you’re craving.
