Vegan Gravy
Who doesn't like a layer of rich gravy poured all over their Christmas dinner? Yet, a common opinion is that gravy can't taste good if it's vegan. This belief couldn't be further away from the truth.
Try this flavorsome gravy recipe that's just as tasty as the 'classic' version.
Colorful Christmas Salad
The secret of this lovely dish is in the strawberry vinaigrette dressing. All you need is a bunch of fresh ingredients blended in a blender until smooth. It's as easy as that.
Make the dressing once and it can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Yet, let's be honest, it's like to be eaten much sooner than that. Check out the recipe right here: Recipe on NatureHub.
