Antipasto

Antipasto, which means “before food” in Italian, is a salad-like appetizer consisting of various fresh and pickled vegetables, cheeses, and rolled or sliced meats. For vegetarian antipasto, you can either substitute mock meat products or leave them out altogether.

Asparagus Salad

Asparagus, olives, mint, bell pepper, and onion – a nice mix for a summer salad.

White beans and black olives combine with various herbs and veggies to make a hearty soup.

Caponata – Sweet and Sour Eggplant

This eggplant appetizer from southern Italy can be eaten as a side dish or on top of bread.

Greek Salad

Kalamata olives and feta cheese really spice up this otherwise simple salad.

Hummus Variations

As good as “regular” hummus is (made with chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini), other additions can make it even better. Here are over a dozen easy hummus variations to help you spice up your favorite hummus recipe.

Jambalaya

This traditional stew from New Orleans is meat-based, but this vegetarian version leaves nothing to be desired.

Orange Salad

Both versions of this easy-to-prepare salad are wonderfully refreshing in the summertime.

Pissaladière

Pissaladière is an onion pizza or onion tart from Provence. Traditionally made with anchovies, this vegetarian pissaladière is spiced up with tapenade instead.
