BBQs, picnics, ánd potlucks áre such fun wáys to celebráte with fámily ánd friends. I’m álwáys looking for something delicious to bring to impress people ánd show them how tásty á plánt-básed diet cán be like with some Street Fáir Corn or Rámen Noodle Sálád.
In my pre-veg dáys, one of my fávorite foods át our fámily BBQs used to be thát boxed Betty Crocker Bácon Ránch Pástá Sálád. Though it wás not the heálthiest thing in the world, I loved it ánywáy. So much so thát I usuálly áte like hálf the box myself!

If you’re in á rush ánd háve bácon bits on hánd, you cán álwáys use them in this vegán ránch pástá sálád insteád of the tempeh.
