Vegan Memorial Day Recipes

Memorial Day is so close, which is exciting but also nerve-wracking because that means planning out all that food for your outdoor barbecue you promised to throw this year! Especially as a vegan it can be hard to plan out food that you can eat, which is why these vegan Memorial Day recipes are exactly what you need.

This list is a beautiful mix of appetizers, dips, drinks, entrees, and of course, desserts. Because even if you can't have that delicious pan of brownies that your friend bought (forgetting that yes, you're still vegan), you should still be able to have some dessert as well! With this list you can not only enjoy desserts such as fudgsicles and cheesecake bites, but you can also have your very own burger, potato salad, taco, and even some hummus quesadillas. All drinks are red because, well, festivities call for red, white, and blue. And honestly, all of the great cocktails I found are red and I just don't want to have a blue tongue this Memorial Day. Sorry not sorry.

So dig through this list and plan out a perfect vegan spread for your upcoming barbecue! I mean, these all look so good, people won't even complain that you're making vegan food. Finally.
