Tradition doesn't have to dominate or limit us. If we don't eat meat and prefer a plant-based diet, we can adapt this tradition to enjoy delicious meals and a variety of dishes on the table on Christmas Eve. All you need to do is look for inspiring ideas and show a little creativity and willpower. However, if you're too busy with your responsibilities during the last week, we're here to tell you which delicacies are definitely worth your attention!

Borscht

Borscht cooked in vegetable broth is a great solution that fits perfectly into the Christmas tradition and satisfies literally everyone—especially vegetarians. However, it's worth varying the flavor with onions previously fried in a pan. Another interesting solution is to add a sour accent, such as apple. This makes the borscht distinctive, aromatic, and original. We can serve it with dumplings or boiled beans, but it also makes a great warming drink.

Hummus

Hummus is a classic of vegetarian and vegan cuisine and therefore a must-have for Christmas dishes. It's not only a great and unusual side dish for lunch, but also a delicious breakfast and filling dinner. Another advantage of including hummus in your holiday menu is that you can season it in a variety of ways, creating different, sometimes extreme, flavors. For example, hummus can be enriched with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes , roasted peppers, or carrots. This allows us to experiment and choose the version that fully satisfies our taste buds.

Salads

A Christmas salad doesn't have to be high in calories, fat, and... mayonnaise or fish. Instead of tuna and lots of mayonnaise, we can also opt for a more plant-based version—all you need to do is add your favorite vegetables and fruits and prepare a sauce based on vegetable oil and your favorite spices. It doesn't have to be boring and is definitely more digestible than a classic salad with potatoes, eggs, or tuna. Let's add variety and beautiful colors to our plates!
