Salads
There are many options of vegan salads, from very light and refreshing suitable for spring and summer weddings to hearty ones for fall and winter weddings. If you wanna go fresh, think of grapes, avocado, peaches, quinoa, fennel, asparagus and some fruits, of light dressings with olive oil and Dijon mustard. If you want a hearty salad, your way to go is potato salad, and it can be very different. You can go for spinach, saffron, various kinds of cabbage and greenery, radishes and many other ingredients and dressings, it depends on your taste and the season when you are having your wedding. Mushroom salads are very hearty, too, and a mushroom salad with lentils, caramelized onions, crunchy pine nuts and stuff like that will leave everyone happy.

Main Dishes
As for main dishes, there are tons of recipes to try but the most popular ones are pasta, various kinds of noodles and vegetables. Pasta with mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, garlic, various types of greenery and cabbage and delicious sauces is a great idea to feed your guests. If you prefer Asian cuisine, soba noodles with various veggies, greenery and herbs will be a nice alternative. A roasted butternut squash is a great option, fill it with herbs, greenery and fried sage to enjoy. Ratatouille is a classic French vegetable dish, which is a great idea for everyone, many people love French cuisine. If it’s a holiday or winter wedding, why not offer a holiday pie as an alternative to pasta? It can be a vegan pie with various veggies – carrots, onions, paprika and stuff like that. I love the idea of a vegan Wellington – it’s filled not with meat but with mushrooms being no less hearty and warming up. Find more ideas below!
