Best Vegan Pasta Salad – “The Spirit of Minestrone Soup Salad” with Easy Zippy Tomato Vinaigrette

I’m sure there are lots of folks out there that think that vegans only eat salads. Well, to that I say, if a salad is a collection of delicious ingredients topped with a delicious sauce or dressing, then yeah, pretty much, as a vegan, I only eat salads. And this “Spirit of Minestrone Soup Salad” is the epitome that proves the rule. It’s got everything you’d want in a delicious, warm bowl of minestrone soup – the beans, the veggies, the pasta – but they’ve all been tossed into an insanely delicious Zippy Tomato Vinaigrette that renders your favorite soup conceivable to eat when it’s over 100 degrees outside.

Quick and Easy Cauliflower Alfredo with Pickled Lentils and Black Bean Fettucine

This is the third dish in my week-long series of WFPB recipes.

But trust me! This Noodle-less Butternut Squash Lasagna may be free of 7 of the top 8 allergens (it could easily be made soy-free, too), but believe me when I tell you that this delicious and comforting vegan dish is not free of flavor or decadence.

Comfy and Cozy Italian Tomatoes and White Beans

Even the most thinly stocked of pantries probably has a can of tomatoes and a can of beans hiding in the back somewhere.

Easy Creamy Vegan Italian Sausage and Sun-Dried Tomato Fettuccine

I love the simplicity of this pasta. It feels like a traditional Italian dish, where meat is browned, and the fond in the pan is used to season the cream sauce. There is a simplicity to this dish, and a quickness with which it comes together that just makes you feel like you’re instinctively composing in the moment; like you’re a Nona at home in her Tuscan kitchen.
