    Vegan Dinner Ideas: Early August

    Published: Aug 7, 2017 · Updated: Aug 2, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    When August rolls around, it's all about the holy trinity of produce — tomatoes, corn, and summer squash (zucchini, yellow squash, and others). This week's vegan dinner ideas focus on these three great late summer veggies for delicious fresh meals. First up, the companionable summer duo—tomatoes and basil—becomes quite a delicacy when teamed with pasta. Serve Cold Pasta with Tomatoes and Basil (above) with corn on the cob for a simple meal.

    Summer Stew of tofu with corn and tomatoes

    Fresh corn and tomatoes are highlighted in this easy skillet dish, Stewed Tofu with Corn and Tomatoes. It’s a great way to serve tofu for warm weather meals. Serve with a crusty bread and a simple salad or sautéed summer squashes.

    Greek potato stew

    Greek Potato, Tomato, and Zucchini Stew bursts with summer flavors (including green beans). A fresh, crusty bread is a must with this. To round out the meal, serve a big green salad with some chickpeas tossed in, and a good wine. quinoa and black beans salad with corn and avocado

    Quinoa and black beans join forces with corn and avocado to make a sturdy salad with southwestern flavors. It’s a perfect main-dish salad, paired with a simple soup or Easy Quesadillas or Soft Tacos.

    Hopefully, it will cool down enough to toss a pizza in the oven! Garlicky Fresh Tomato and Basil Pizza is a fresh take on the classic Margherita. This variation is packed with extra flavor from garlic and black olives. Serve with a big salad with chickpeas added for extra protein.

      I'm going to give these recipes a try. I just got a bag of zucchini and yellow squash from my fiancee's mom. Those'll be perfect to use with some of these!
