19. One-Pot Vegan Chili Mac
Many people know of chili mac as just combining canned chili with boxed mac and cheese and done. Don’t get us wrong, it hits the spot when needed.

18. Trippy Vegan Rainbow Pasta Salad
Today’s recipe is for a hippy-dippy Trippy Vegan Rainbow Pasta Salad. Now, a Rainbow Pasta Salad is just a Vegan Pasta Salad that is tripping balls on acid with a few of its vegetable friends. It’s just a bunch of vegetables chilling out in a bowl of pasta, enjoying life, and staring intently at the technicolored flashing Boy George poster that is hanging on the bedroom wall.
I do not speak from experience. I am also a liar. This is a no-fail recipe, so even if you have the IQ of a cockroach, I promise you that you can’t go wrong with this Vegan Rainbow Pasta Salad (I know his sentence probably offends the cockroach activists in the world – I am not sorry if you are butthurt by my comments). If you do fail at making this recipe for some reason, please do tell me – I would love to sigh and shake my head.

17. Vegan Sushi Bowl
This vegan sushi bowl is one of the easiest meals you can make! All the best flavours of sushi, without all the prep (and rolling)! If you make the rice in advance, it makes for great meal prep. Also options to sub brown rice or quinoa for more nutrition density! Cook rice by boiling 2 cups of water. When boiled, add rice and reduce to a simmer. Cook covered (about 30 minutes). If you want this to be cold – cook the night before!
While the rice is cooking, chop cucumbers, avocado, and carrots (use a julienne or spiralizer if desired). Defrost edamame (I did it in the microwave) When rice is cooked, stir in rice vinegar and maple syrup. You could also add some sesame oil for more flavor. Top with vegetables and garnish with nori, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds!

16. BBQ Chickpea Salad Recipe
Once upon a time, there was a salad that didn’t suck… and so it lived happily ever after… until I ate it. Muhahaha goodbye Salad! I love a good meal salad. I’m not talking about those lightly dressed greens on the side, I mean a hearty, satisfying, eat your veggies and lick your fingers kind of salad. This BBQ Chickpea Salad fits the bill. For any new vegan, I think using BBQ sauce or any other traditional “meat flavorings” (that sounds gross) on your food makes your meals more familiar and comforting. So BBQ sauce is a win-win. You get to pack in a rainbow of vegetable colors. You know that’s gonna be healthy by just looking at it. Eat the rainbow they say… no, not Skittles (although they are totally vegan).

15. Vegan Rainbow Rolls
Refreshing and colorful salad wrapped in rice paper and two dipping sauces (peanut sauce and spicy hoisin sauce) to enjoy your vegan rainbow summer rolls! I’m not going to lie. I’m little (just a tiny bit) worried that I won’t be able to enjoy the 4th of July stuffing my face with hot dogs, hamburgers, and beer like I used to. If you are on the same boat as me, you can maybe bring my vegan rainbow summer rolls (with two sauces) to the party to enjoy with everyone. Plus, I don’t think anyone would mind (especially after bringing this yummy appetizer) grilling your vegan hot dogs and hamburgers. We can still enjoy this!!!

13. Vegan Rainbow Tacos
These tacos are clean and colorful. Made with chickpeas and quinoa with lots of fresh vegs, wrapped in a corn tortilla or hard-shell corn taco. Craving tacos? Well, I have a recipe for you! Introducing my HEALTHY VEGAN RAINBOW MeaTACOS. So, these aren’t the typical black bean burritos that come to mind when we think “Taco Night,” but I love these tacos because they are so fresh, clean, and colorful. These rainbow tacos, however, take all that we love about taco night and give it a healthy spin. Made with turmeric quinoa, carrot, tomato, cabbage, green onion, chickpeas, cilantro, and avocados they are a clean and lean choice. It’s a healthy vegan recipe if I ever saw one! But just because they’re healthy doesn’t mean they compromise on taste – although I like to eat healthily, I refuse to do it blandly.

12. Rainbow Veggie Skewers
Outdoors > Indoors, at least during these warm months. This means that my grill and I have been spending lots of time together lately. This means that my latest rainbow creation is one that you can sizzle up alongside your summer steaks or chicken or tofu or what have you. Yes, feel free to roll your eyes, but I went colorful again and was very happy with the outcome — Rainbow Veggie Skewers! I had picked up some colorful peppers and summer squash at the market and was going to skewer them up at the last minute for a gathering with my neighbors. But then I realized I already had my red, orange, yellow and green. So come on, I absolutely must finish out the rainbow with some purple!

9. Rainbow Vegetarian Pad Thai with Peanuts and Basil
Fast and easy? Adaptable? Simple? Delicious? That’s this vegetarian pad, Thai. Here we are again, just me and my big bowl-o-noodles… and a few veggies, and a lot of sauce, and a handful of fresh basil and cilantro…. a fork, a hungry mouth, a heart-eyes emoji… ugh. This reunion with me and cooking could not get any happier. This Rainbow Vegetarian Pad Thai is first and foremost RAINBOW, which is the only fun way to eat anything in life. It is brown rice noodles, spiralized veggies (because veggies in noodle form feel like more noodles), a super tangy-delicious Pad Thai sauce that you just shake up in a jar in about five seconds flat, and peanuts that almost instantly start to soak up the sauce, and a gently scrambled egg that kind of cream-if the whole thing.

8. Rainbow Spring Rolls with Ginger Peanut Sauce
Fresh spring rolls (also known as gỏi cuốn or summer rolls) are a common Vietnamese dish, but the concept is believed to have originated in China. It’s thought that they may be a modification of Chinese egg rolls, but with Vietnamese flavors. They are typically made with fresh vegetables, herbs, and protein that are wrapped in rehydrated rice paper and served with a dipping sauce. Spring rolls are great, but peanut sauce* elevates them to AMAZING! For some extra kick, I added some freshly grated ginger – a throwback to my Veggie & Rice Noodle Bowl days- and the result is a perfectly salty-sweet sauce with some zing. I’m in love.

7. Rainbow Salsa
Ironically, I’d actually been meaning to try making a rainbow salsa of some sort for the blog this summer. So I decided to take some inspiration from Stacey and whip up a second batch to give to some neighbors as a Cinco de Mayo gift before leaving town. It was vibrant, it was easy, it was healthy, and good grief — it was GOOD. This salsa is one of my favorite Vegan Rainbow recipes that are great for healthy eating. In order to hit up all of the colors of the rainbow, I decided to go with more of a black-bean-and-corn Southwestern salsa. (Which I later came to find is known in the south as Cowboy Caviar or something like that. This Kansas girl had no idea!) The base of my version was decided simply by going to the farmer’s market and gathering as many colorful veggies as possible.

6. Vegan Rainbow Falafel Wrap Recipe
Yes, these are my tri-colored and nutrition-packed vegan rainbow falafel wrapped in pita Pockets. When I first created the falafel lettuce wrap, I kind of fell in love with these tiny bite-size baked fritters. Spicy falafels wrapped in crispy cool lettuce leaves and served with summery tomato salad and creamy sriracha sauce are a combination match-made in heaven. Now I have another falafel wrap recipe, which is vegan rainbow falafel wrapped in rustic wholewheat pita pockets and topped with fresh salads and my very popular two-minute avo dressing.

2. Vegan Rainbow Sushi Rolls
Let’s start with the sushi rice. It is a short-grain rice that cooks relatively fast and it’s nice a sticky. If you prefer to eat brown rice, you can alternatively substitute the sushi rice for short grain brown rice which is also super delicious. Next, you will need some nori sheets aka seaweed. It is made from red algae that are dried and toasted. Since we are making vegan sushi, the nori really provides that fishy flavor. Nori sheets are relatively easy to find at the grocery store these days.
Of course, sushi can not be consumed without some sort of dipping sauce, primarily Soy Sauce. When I would frequent my local sushi spot before I was vegan, I was obsessed with spicy mayo. I would drizzle it on everything. Since going whole food plant based, I was determined to come up with a spicy mayo replacement and I think I did it. My vegan oil-free spicy mayo is the perfect combo of creamy and spicy.

1. Vegan Rainbow Pinwheels
These fresh and colorful Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels are a delicious no-cook meal. Choose your favorite veggies or let everyone make their own for a fun snack or meal. Vegan Pinwheels are a fun appetizer too. The best part, in my opinion, of these Veggie Pinwheels is that you can get a lot of veggie variety in a couple of bites. The second best part is that everyone can make their own so you get your favorite veggies! You can use any veggies you like to make these Veggie Pinwheels but I like to use all the colors of the rainbow! These are the complete opposite of the meat and cheese versions I made a decade ago. I called those tortilla roll ups and they were a staple for potlucks and after school snacks. These are a much better alternative, full of fiber and actually good for you!
