spring green flatbread with edamame pesto

by Jackie Newgent | April 21, 2022 | 3 Comments

This Earth Day-inspired recipe for spring green flatbread with edamame pesto is just as awesome as pizza. But, unlike traditional pizza, it’s 100% plant-based and full of spring (and green) delight. The flatbread is such a tasty way to get veggies (hello, asparagus!), too. And, of course, eating plant-based instead of animal-based is healthy for the planet while it can play a role in combating climate change.

If you’re planning to have a picnic — or an indoor picnic — anytime soon, this creamy plant-based macaroni salad recipe is a must-make! (Actually, I personally think it’s a must-make anytime you feel like it!)

If you’re an egg salad fan but looking for a vegan version of it — or just a new-fangled twist on it — this pulse-based “egg” salad is the answer. It’s fun to make too, since you’ll be making “egg white” salad and “egg yolk” salad, then combining them together to act like the real thing. But the thing is … this 100% plant-based version is 100% real. And it’s so satisfying and nourishing, thanks to pulses.

avocado anything dip

If you guys don’t already have a “special sauce” recipe of your own, please go ahead and adopt my avocado anything dip — also known as “plant-based avocado special sauce” — as your own. You can serve it on practically anything (hello veggie burger spread) or dunk almost anything into it (yep, it’s a perfect Super Bowl party dip)! This is definitely my pick when I’ve got avocados on hand that are a bit overly mushy, too. It transforms them into something rather magical.

If you marry a BLT sandwich with a bowl of gnocchi — and veganize it — you’ll get this super tasty plant-based BLT gnocchi dish! Or at least I did! So, now there’s no need to make decisions … you get to indulge in both comforting foods at once. And this is one indulgence that you’ll want often. I do!
