Ideas for an easy vegan dish to serve with a large salad

16 replies

Fushia123 · 27/05/2026 20:06

I’m making a big salad for 12 soon - at least half are vegans others are vegetarian. What could I serve with it for a quick lunch. If they were all veggie I would make a big quiche, but it’s much ‘easier’ to make everything vegan so that everyone can eat everything. What relatively easy dish could I make to go with a lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, chickpea, celery and pepper salad?

Maybe something like stuff aubergine with a tomato sauce (use mixed veg for stuffing). Sprinkle with vegan cheese if you can get it/a nice one. Sorry no really experience with vegan cheese. Or else sprinkle with breadcrumbs backed in the oven in an garlic oil.

I love a ratatouille with all or any of aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, mushrooms, herbs etc.

Leave out the egg (or replace) and get the puff pastry which happens to be vegan... and I think this should work?

Red pepper jalousie

I make this but with a traditional cooked down ratatouille base then decorated with the sliced veg to roast on top and a sprinkle of pine nuts (optional feta for non vegans)

A giant tortilla type thing with sliced potatoes/onions, vegan feta, and gram flour batter? If you've got a giant enough pan that is.

Or, a big batch of the Ottolenghi confit tandoori chickpeas with a load of pitta breads, herb yoghurt, and the planned salad.

roasted peppers stuffed with rice, you could make a really nice home made flavoured rice, I tend to just buy a packet rice , like Mexican or golden veg

Chickpea curry is really easy and always popular

Potobello mushroom burger. You've got plenty of freshness, now you have to get in with the savoury unami, toothsomeness and something with a bit of bite in the texture.

Or baguette or whatever bread with your big mushroom.

Mushroom and veggie pâte on a toasty. That's my best idea so far.

Falafels with a selection of dips, hummus, vegan yoghurt based one and a herby one.

Thanks everyone - some great ideas here.

Jamie Oliver’s stuffed peppers, can omit the feta for the vegans.
i made this a few weeks ago as part of a buffet dinner for 10 and it went down a storm
