It's been hot in the Atlanta, and summer isn't even here yet! When the weather is hot, cool, refreshing fruit is my favorite meal or snack. When you combine it with fresh veggies and sprinkle in nuts, the most amazing vegan salad is born. I call it the Summer Salad. It tastes wonderful, and it happens to be very good for you as well.

Pizza night is a fun time at our house, and on this particular night we decided to make mini personalized pizzas instead of a large vegan pizza. My five year-old daughter was super excited and talked about making pizzas all day. This was a big deal. You see, pizza night is about more than just making pizza. It is also a time where my daughter can taste and learn about fresh, healthy ingredients, participate in putting recipes together, and feel a sense of pride about the finished product. We talk, laugh, and make special memories that are priceless. The great food is an added plus! Spicy, cheesy, crunchy, the perfect size, and only six ingredients to make!

When you take some of your favorite fresh veggies and put them in a vegan wrap recipe, something great happens. You get a quick, easy, nutritious and delicious meal. Wraps are also great for meal prep the next day and throughout the week. There are so many veggies and dressings to choose from, they never get old! Whenever I choose veggies, I think about the health benefits as well. For instance, yellow squash is packed with vitamins. It also has anti-cancer properties and improves cardiovascular and prostate health. When combined with other fresh vegetables, the health benefits are phenomenal. It gives me a great feeling when I know I am providing my family with healthy, wholesome, and nutritious meals. Vegan wraps are very kid-friendly as well. My daughter chooses her veggies and designs her own wrap, and I love spicy foods, so my wraps usually have an element of heat. My husband likes fresh and savory wraps. There is literally something for everyone to enjoy! Fresh, zesty, light, nutritious, and only seven ingredients! Author: The Sensible Vegan Recipe Type: Main Cuisine: Vegan Serving: One Ingredients
