These four plant-based salad recipes are the perfect addition to your 4th of July celebration - whether you are staying home or bringing a dish to share with friends.
Do you have any fun plans for the 4th of July? We are going to celebrate with our neighbors, so I will make one of these salads to take along. But, if we were hosting the party, I would likely make all four!
Now, the question is, which salad should I make?
Veggie Pasta Salad with Avocado Mustard Dressing
This vegan gluten-free veggie pasta salad offers a pleasing combination of pasta, fresh crunchy vegetables, and a creamy avocado dressing.
The dressing provides a lovely, mildly tangy flavor, and it has just the right consistency to coat the veggies and pasta without becoming runny.

Why bother with salad when watermelon tastes great all by itself? Well, sometimes you want to fancy things up a bit. This recipe does just that!
Black Rice Veggie Salad
You can make this sweet and tangy black rice veggie salad with brown rice, but it would not be nearly as pretty or nutritious!
This recipe is quick and easy and includes simple ingredients. The combination offers a beautiful array of colors - not unlike 4th of July fireworks!
Veggie Coleslaw - Made with Avocado Mayo and Cashew Sour Cream
Made-from-scratch veggie coleslaw that's flavorful and creamy and entirely plant-based - what magic is this?
