Recently, I had a friend and her family become vegan, so we all decided to try some vegan recipes. This was one of two that I made, and it was great. We also had soooo many other dishes from friends (and story bought things like sour ‘cream’ and ‘queso’) and we were all super impressed.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how simple it is! You just need what you already have in the house (and of course you can change out things was you like: cilantro or basil or dill, chick peas for white bean, kale or arugula for spinach, etc. (That’s what I love so much about recipes: guidelines, not requirements!)
So why not give a few vegan dishes a try here and there? They are usually healthy, so they can’t hurt to try!
