Although stores are beginning to sell fall decor, summer is not over. We’ve still got a little more than a month left of the season that’s known for its sultry feel. Celebrate the rest of the season by doing something you love (cooking and eating, duh). To help you do just that, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite summer vegan recipes. Each meal is filled with fresh ingredients.
