You might think it’s difficult to go meatless on the Paleo diet – especially with all the hearty meat recipes and the emphasis on healthy proteins. However, going meatless doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor.
Enjoy vegetarian dinner recipes with rib-sticking deliciousness and forget the notion of vegetables being dainty and non-satiating. Now you can indulge in barbecued pulled mushrooms or “meatballs” packed with vegetables! If you’re craving something light and refreshing – like a butternut squash and pomegranate kale salad – we’ve got you covered. Looking for something sweet and zesty? Try a crunchy jicama and apple slaw.
Whatever you’re into, there’s no shortage of variety with this vegetarian dinner recipe list. From veggie burgers to Mediterranean-style falafels, there’s something appetizing for every food you’re craving.
