Secrets To A Delicious Vegan Thanksgiving

One of the greatest aspects of Thanksgiving is getting together with friends, family, and loved ones to reflect on the beautiful relationships one has cultivated. A side benefit to thanksgiving, of course, is also the amazing bounty of tasty food presented at the table. But what if some of your guests have more discerning taste buds? What if they are vegan? While Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated eating turkey, it is becoming more popular to branch out and select a few choice dishes that can appeal to everyone sitting at your table. Vegans follow a very strict diet, which do not allow them to consume any food prepared with animal products. Read onwards to learn more about how to prepare a few wonderful vegan thanksgiving meals.

An incredibly simple yet tasty dish that you can present at your next thanksgiving feast is Thai Pumpkin Soup. Thai Pumpkin Soup involves a combination of pumpkin with a traditional spicy thai chili sauce that is very popular among vegan dishes. Add coconut milk to your mixture for the soup base. You can choose or allow your guests to select between adding large chunks of pumpkin or a puree version to deliver a creamier soup version.

Another vegan Thanksgiving recipe that also uses pumpkin is a Roasted Pumpkin salad. Caramelize your onions while you cook the pumpkin (the red onion is nice and showy) and then just simple add a dressing you like that you feel will go well with it. Once mixed just serve it on a bed of wild rice.

A few other ideas for vegan thanksgiving recipes could be simple green beens with OVOO (thank you Rachael Ray) and dill or a baked mixture of apples and brussel spouts. There are lots of ways to do apples and brussel sprouts so all you will need to do it pick one the suits your fancy.

With so many vegan thanksgiving holiday recipes available, it is not difficult to find a few that can suit everyone’s unique tastes. Vegan guests at your table will no longer crave the taste of turkey anymore if you can prepare a few of these simple and healthy vegan alternatives.
