BELATED 4TH OF JULY

Bring a 100% plant-based dish free of flesh, eggs, animal-derived dairy, honey, and gelatin. If you don’t cook, that’s okay — bring something from the store! Your dish should serve 6 people.

Do you have a favorite vegan 4th of July dish that you didn’t get to make yet or really want to share? What about something inspired by an exciting and fresh farmer’s market find? Let’s get together for a lovely vegan potluck in the heat of summer! See you there!
