    17 Festive Vegan Salads

    The holiday season is upon us again and you’re planning your mouth-watering vegan Christmas menu. Let us help you this year as we inspire you with our generous selection of vegan salads.

    17 Festive Vegan Salads this recipe

    As more and more people adopt a vegan lifestyle, recipe creators are also becoming increasingly creative in their offerings. It amazes us to no end the incredible array of menu items that are available to us now and how far vegan recipes have come!

    No doubt you’ve probably already got the usual favourites such as the vegan Wellington, seitan roast, lentil loaf and vegan maple glazed ham. Well if you have, your Christmas table is already starting to take shape!

    But just like all Christmas feasts, salads also play an important role. They offer a fresh accompaniment and helps to break up the palette a little.

    One of the best things about creating salads is the ability to incorporate fruit into the mix. For those of us spending Christmas in the summer, it’s a fantastic way of taking advantage of all those warm weather fruits and creating fresh dishes.

    From raw salads to salad with roasted vegetables, we have an exciting range of vegan salads to please all your guests.

    We hope you’ll be inspired by our wide selection and may your Christmas be loud and merry!
