So, what to have for a dinner party with my friends that doesn't make them regret eating dinner with me during this vegan month? A yummy mostly vegan taco bar (we had some cheese for everyone but me). Black beans, spanish rice, tortillas, taco seasoned veggie crumbles, salsa, spinach, sauteed onions, roasted corn, and a mango/avocado salad. I think everyone felt pretty satisfied with their vegan meal. The key is to not tell them it was vegan until afterward. I couldn't find a recipe I loved for the mango/ avocado salad, so I just made it up. Which is normally what I end up doing anyway. Here it goes (measurements estimated). Enjoy!
Mango-Avocado Salad
2 ripe mangos, cubed
2 avocados, cubed
1 tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 cup roasted corn
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
juice from a lemon or lime
salt and pepper to taste
My dear friend Kate's tacos- see mango salad
My taco plate =)
I will have to admit that I did eat a little piece of brownie that was sitting around without thinking before I realized it wasn't vegan. So- I made a little mistake, but life will go on. Other than that- this month is going pretty well!
Props for going vegan all month friend! That must be a big adjustment! However, all of this food looks pretty tasty that you've been posting...
