2 Plant-based Mediterranean Dishes for the Coming Spring and Summer

 The warmth of springtime days is something that many people cherish and look forward to, after long nights of bitter cold and almost lightless days. As the environment slowly turns green again, with the blooming of flowers, the growth of leaves, and other tell tale signs of renewal, there also flourishes a sense of personal change, a chance to let go of past regrets and failings, a chance to become better for the future.

A post-pandemic vegan trip to a new and clean locale can do wonders for your well-being, but we can wait a bit longer for that opportunity. Until then, let’s taste great vegan cuisine from all over the world. Mediterranean cuisine is well-suited for vegan variations. A part of the world with a rich culinary culture, the Mediterranean has inspired numerous plant-based dishes. Are you feeling hungry? Here’s a few recipes that we’ve gathered from around the Web.

Fasolakia (braised green beans) from Greece provide a distinct flavor that you can use for this lovely and filling recipe. This dish can work for both simple dinners and elegant events, a healthy meal for both festive spring days and quite summer nights.
