The holiday season is a wonderful time of year to indulge in your favorite foods and celebrate with loved ones. If you’d like to introduce some plant-based foods to your menu, you may be surprised to learn just how many festive and delicious options are available. Here are a few ideas to add a creative touch to your meals this holiday season.

What Plant-Based Foods Can I Serve for the Holidays?

1. Green Bean Casserole

The standard green bean casserole often contains milk, which lends it its customary creaminess, and may have a meaty broth for flavor. In this vegan plant-based food, you can simply swap the milk for an unsweetened non-dairy milk of your choosing and use a vegetable broth in lieu of chicken broth. The recipe includes green beans, onions, garlic, almonds, and mushrooms for the sauce. 

2. Cauliflower Sweet Potatoes

Cauliflower is incredibly versatile and makes a great addition to your plant-based meals. To create this hearty substitute for sweet potatoes, steam cauliflower and sweet potatoes, add your choice of non-dairy milk, and incorporate seasonings to lend the dish its unique savory-meets-sweet flavor. 

3. Apple Cranberry Salad

Colorful dried cranberries and crisp apples are the stars of this salad. On a bed of romaine and kale, add a variety of colorful toppings that resonate with the season. In addition to the fruits, include carrots and pumpkin seeds. Prepare a dressing with tahini, orange, turmeric, and other seasonings to create a delicious seasonal salad that’s sure to please.

4. Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Rich and creamy, avocado chocolate mousse tastes just like the authentic dessert. You’ll need a block of firm tofu, unsweetened almond milk, an avocado, raspberries, cocoa powder, and maple syrup, along with some vanilla extract. Combine and blend the ingredients, then top your blend with raspberries to create a beautiful dessert.
