Host a Vegan Italian Dinner Party

Treating your friends and family to a vegan dinner party is the perfect way to convince them that they won’t miss a thing if they go vegan.

One of my favorite ways to cook for my omnivore friends and family is to make vegan versions of the foods they already enjoy. Most recently, I put together an Italian-themed dinner featuring creamy Caesar salad, bruschetta, and lasagna. Check out the food spread and recipes below. Enjoy!

Caesar Salad

Tomato, Garlic, and Basil Bruschetta Bites

Stuffed Zucchini Boats
