25 Creative Vegan Recipes Featuring Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs can elevate a dish from good to WOW! with barely any extra effort on our part. Visually, they make a plate look beautiful. Aromatically, they excite. And flavor-wise, there’s just nothing like herbs. Basil, parsley, thyme, dill, rosemary, mint, sage, oregano, and cilantro are all represented in this list. Oh! And in addition to being beautiful and delicious, of course herbs are incredibly nutritious, too.
