4 Vegetarian BBQ Side Dishes
Even before I was a vegetarian, my favorite part of every holiday is a big ol’ plate loaded with different sides! And for a summer BBQ, it’s the easiest way to eat meatless and love every bite. Nobody wants to be standing over a hot stove all summer. So, here are four epic vegan & vegetarian BBQ side dishes that everyone will love – all with minimal effort.
4 Meatless Main Dishes for Your Cookout
Whether you’re bringing a dish to a backyard potluck full of meat-eaters or are hosting a 100% meat-free summer barbecue, there are tons of yummy options! Tacos are always a vegan or vegetarian winner: make some classic bean crunch tacos or Hawaiian tofu street tacos. Or, fire up the grill for some balsamic veggie kebabs and a grilled romaine taco salad!
