I have a really easy one that we have at least twice a month.
Black Beans and Brown Rice
Cook a cup of brown rice according to package directions.
While that's cooking, warm up two cans of Progresso black beans and one can of "Mexican" tomatoes. I like to add some cumin and garlic salt. If you have some fresh cilantro, all the better. Add the cilantro to the beans and use it for garnish.
Wala!

Let me think on this :scratch: ...I cooked for a vegan in the sorority house for a whole year. It was a very interesting experience, and I learned alot!
Of course....a nice pasta salad ...you just can't beat that, with lots of tasty veggies and maybe some walnuts thrown in? Or pine nuts???

It meets them all...provided the dressing contains no animal products what so ever... and the canned field snap peas could contain animal product, as well as the black eyed peas...you might have to cook them yourself to ensure no animal products

OOPS! You might not want something warm. Try this. If you're an ovo-lacto vegan, just leave out the cheese.

Yeah, I checked after posting. There are several brands of dressing with no animal fats. And, I'm sure there's probably some brand of the snap peas available without animal products. Sent this to Cork too, since she liked it.

Can it be a fruit dish? I made on a really hot day last week.
It's refreshing, quick and easy.
