    I love making this ravioli salad for BBQs and potlucks. It’s always a real crowd-pleaser and it’s usually gone super fast.

    I’ve always loved ravioli. However, it’s often not easy to find vegan ravioli. If you can’t get ahold of plant-based ravioli, you could also use rigatoni or penne instead. Or maybe you could find vegan tortellini, which would also work.

    • zucchini 
    • yellow bell pepper
    • cherry tomatoes 
    • canned <artichoke hearts
    • sun-dried tomatoes in oil
    • black olives
    • arugula

    1. STEP: Prepare the ravioli according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside. Add a bit of olive oil so the ravioli don’t stick together. 

    2. STEP: In the meantime, prepare the remaining ingredients. Chop the zucchini and the bell pepper into small cubes. Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the zucchini and the bell pepper for about 4 minutes on medium heat. 

    3. STEP: Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves. Drain the artichoke hearts and also cut them into halves. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into strips. Wash the arugula.

    5. STEP: Put all ingredients for the salad in a large bowl and add the dressing. Sprinkle with roughly chopped basil. 

    Recipe Notes: 

    • If you don’t like arugula, you could also use baby spinach. 
    • Usually pesto is not vegan because it contains Parmesan. Fortunately, you can find many vegan brands these days. Check out your local health food store or the organic section in your supermarket. 
    • Stored in an airtight container, the salad lasts up to three days in the fridge. However, the arugula won’t be as fresh anymore, but the salad will still be good. 
    • If you can’t find vegan ravioli, you could also use regular pasta like penne instead.
    • Peta posted a helpful article of the best prepackaged vegan ravioli brands that might help you. 
    • Homemade vegan feta cheese is also great addition to this salad.
