Cooking With Fresh Herbs
Herbs have a way of elevating a dish from good to WOW with barely any extra effort on our part. They're beautiful, aromatic, and flavor-wise, there's just nothing like that added burst of freshness.
In addition to being beautiful and delicious, let's not forget that herbs are also very nutritious!
I asked my fellow food bloggers for their best recipes using fresh herbs, and they delivered some amazing dishes!
In this roundup of vegan recipes you'll discover new ways to use your favorite herbs like basil, parsley, thyme, dill, rosemary, mint, sage, oregano, and cilantro.
We have everything from appetizers and salads, to smoothies, cheeses, cookies, and even a co*cktail. I've also included some of my own recipes that call for fresh herbs.
I hope these recipes inspire you to incorporate more herbs into your plant-based meals. Comment below to let us know your favorites!
