When I was a kid, baked potatoes stuffed with broccoli and drenched in ooey-gooey cheese sauce was one of my favorite meals! This vegan stuffed sweet potato recipe is the adult version of my favorite childhood dinner and it tastes even better!

Savory stuffed sweet potatoes are easy to make, fully loaded with flavor, and they’re super satisfying! This meal actually came to be when I used up leftover vegan broccoli cheese soup by pouring it over roasted sweet potatoes. It’s the ultimate vegan comfort food meal that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner!

You’re going to love this vegan cheese sauce and you’re probably going to want to put it on everything just like I do.

Dairy-Free Cashew Cream Broccoli Salad

By Stacey Homemaker on May 21, 2019, Updated July 17, 2019 7 Comments

This easy vegan broccoli salad (no mayo!) is super creamy, crunchy, and so delicious! It’s the perfect side dish to bring to picnics, cookouts, or parties! Vegan and gluten-free.

One of our favorite places to go out for a quick, healthy vegan dinner is Sweet Tomatoes. We love the salad bar, soups, and baked sweet potatoes! Have you tried the broccoli salad that they have on the bar? We used to love it before we were vegan!

I wanted to recreate the creamy broccoli salad at home without using the mayo, sugar, and vegetable oil that is in the Sweet Tomatoes version. It turned out so delicious and it’s so easy to make! You’re going to love the creamy cashew sauce, crunchy broccoli, and all the toppings, it’s sooo tasty.

I used creamy cashew sauce instead of mayo like most other recipes for broccoli salad call for. It’s just as creamy and flavorful, and in my opinion, it tastes even better!

It’s the best vegan broccoli side dish to serve with vegetable burgers, sandwiches, or roasted veggie wraps. It’s also great to bring to summer picnics (because you don’t have to worry about the mayo going bad while it’s unrefrigerated), BBQ’s, and family events.

I feel like roasted radishes are a well-kept secret that most people don’t know about! I avoided eating radishes for most of my life because I didn’t like their sharp bite. The flavor was just too overwhelming for me, even if they were sliced paper thin in a salad.

Last year, I was searching for a low-carb side dish to make for our vegan Thanksgiving dinner (here are more low-carb vegan recipes if you need inspiration) and I watched a cooking show where they made oven roasted radishes and said that they tasted like roasted potatoes. Say whatttt?!

Low and behold, it’s true! Once roasted, the radishes get soft and sweet on the inside and they completely lose their strong bite. You can read more about radish nutrition, here.
