Wondering how to use all of that beautiful farmers market produce? I’m sharing this amazing collection of 45 BEST healthy, delicious, easy plant-based (vegan) farmers market recipes in all categories, including dips, salads, soups, entrees, and desserts.

This is my favorite time of year to explore my local farmers market. Summer is the only time you can enjoy seasonal and local stone fruits fresh from the tree, vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes, and plump summer squashes in green and gold. It’s a time to celebrate all that is ripe, nutritious, and delicious. A quick sprint down the aisle of your local farmers market can yield such inspiration to fire up your cooking all week long. So in honor of all of those community farmers markets across the country that are in full swing, I’ve put together this fabulous collection of plant-based recipes to take advantage of all of that amazing produce. Some of my favorite bloggers have shared their freshest, tastiest recipes, and I’m sure you’ll want to try a few this month. So, get ready to get inspired with these 45 Farmers Market-Inspired Plant-Based Recipes!
