This apple walnut salad uses flavorful fall ingredients like apples, cranberries, candied walnuts, and greens, and pairs them with a tangy maple-balsamic vinaigrette and creamy vegan feta. It's a plant-based salad that's fit for your Thanksgiving table, but it's so easy and delicious that you'll want to make it daily.

I've stayed away from publishing salad recipes until now because, well, vegans only eating salad is such a cliché. But this salad is just too freaking delicious to not share with you all. Since I perfected the dressing, vegan feta, and combination of ingredients, I have been literally eating this salad every single day.

This apple walnut salad is super easy to make. The most time-consuming elements are chopping the apple and preparing the candied walnuts. You can also use plain walnuts if you want, but I think the sweetness of the candied walnuts is worth the extra 10 minutes or so of prep time.

Loaded baked potatoes are one of those foods that I really miss when I go out to eat. They typically contain so many animal products, like butter, bacon, cheese, and sour cream. However, this version is completely vegan and tastes absolutely amazing! I've tested out vegan cheddars and sour creams to find the best brands, and I used sun-dried tomatoes to add a ton of flavor.

This recipe is pretty quick and easy to make; most of the preparation time is just waiting for the potatoes to bake in the oven. So while it's a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, it's also an easy comfort food to pull off any time of year.

Twice-baked potatoes have been a must at my family's Thanksgiving dinner table since as far back as I can remember. They're melty and cheesy and flavorful and everyone loves them! But being vegan doesn't mean I have to give up this essential holiday comfort food.

Twice-baked potatoes have many different variations, but in this recipe, I'm going for a classic flavor with vegan butter, almond milk, and a homemade cheesy sauce. And of course, they're topped with paprika and chives. If you're looking for a baked potato with more toppings, you can try my loaded baked potato or Tex-Mex baked potato recipes.

This Tex-Mex baked potato takes the concept of a classic loaded baked potato and crosses it with lots of Tex-Mex ingredients and flavors: black beans, tomato, corn, jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. The tastes all complement each other so deliciously that this will become your new favorite vegan side dish!

This baked potato is perfect for parties, game-day gatherings, and even holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I'm happy to have it on my dinner table any time of year.
