Why People Assume Vegans Only Eat Salad When people hear the word vegan, they often picture a plain bowl of lettuce and tomatoes. It's an easy stereotypeâafter all, salads are fresh, simple, and instantly recognizable as plant-based. But this narrow view leaves out the real heart of vegan food: comforting classics, creative twists, and bold flavors from around the world.
In this list, you'll discover 25 delicious foods vegans eat besides saladâproof that plant-based eating is diverse, satisfying, and full of surprises. Turnip your expectations because vegan food is full of flavor.
1. Skewers/Kebabs Traditional kebabs are often made with meat like chicken, beef, or lamb, and sometimes brushed with butter.
To make them vegan, swap in marinated tofu, tempeh, or hearty veggies like mushrooms, peppers, and zucchini threaded on skewers. Brush with olive oil, season generously, and grill until everything is smoky and charred.
