If you're looking for a quick summer meal that comes together in under 30 minutes, try making these raw vegan kababs with tofu and fresh seasonal vegetables. I used zucchini, summer squash, and red bell pepper, but some other ideas are cherry tomato or onion.
I like to serve my vegan kababs on a bed of cauliflower rice with a dollop of pesto and fresh herbs. You can choose to keep the cauliflower rice uncooked to keep the dish raw, or lightly steam it on the stovetop for 5-8 minutes until tender. If you have more time and are craving a warm meal, try throwing these vegan kabobs on the grill for smokier flavor.
