This document discusses popular dishes that can easily be made vegan, including omelettes made with chickpea flour instead of eggs, French toast made with chia seeds instead of eggs, Caesar salad made without cheese and with a cashew-based dressing instead of one with egg yolks, chicken salad sandwiches made with chickpeas instead of chicken, tacos filled with roasted butternut squash instead of beef or chicken, and stuffed shells filled with a blend of tofu and spinach instead of dairy cheese. The author aims to dispel the misconception that vegan dishes do not taste good and that veganism is difficult by providing examples of familiar dishes that can be made vegan.

1. POPULAR DISHES
TURNED
VEGAN

2. There is a common
misconception that
veganism is a hard
lifestyle to live, and that
vegan dishes do not taste
as good as recipes made
with animal byproducts.
Cooking is a passion of
mine, and I have come to
realize how easily our
favorite dishes can be
made vegan.

3. Instead of using
beaten eggs, this
breakfast staple can
be made with
chickpea flour - it
provides a savory
taste and texture
similar to the fluffy
eggs that make up
your favorite
omelette.
Omelettes

4. French Toast
French toast is a quick
and easy meal that can
easily be made vegan
with just a few
ingredients. Chia seeds
act as a thickening agent
in place of the eggs - and
then just top with your
favorite fruits!

5. This salad is usually a vegan nightmare with cheese, anchovies, and
an egg yolk-based dressing. Substitute Kalamata olives for the
anchovies, blended cashews for the egg yolks, and ditch the
cheese.

6. Chicken Salad
Sandwich
To make this chicken
dish vegan, switch out
the poultry for some
chickpeas instead.
Then, mix them with
hummus or tahini.
Throw some celery into
the mix as an ode to
the classic.

7. Tacos are already
packed full of
vegetables like
lettuce, tomatoes,
and beans. Instead of
ground beef or
chicken being the
star of the shell, try
some roasted
butternut squash.

8. Another dish where
diary steals the show
but not to worry.
Blending together
tofu with spinach to
make the ‘cheese
filling’ is not only
vegan but it is also a
healthier alternative
for this meal.
