Vegetarian Nut Recipes

Nuts are an excellent source of vegetarian protein, and they taste great too! Check out this index of vegetarian recipes that include nuts.
    

Almond Cookies
Almond cookies from China (and some Chinese restaurants) are light and crispy.

Apricot-Nut Bread
This is a lovely, slightly sweet bread - great for breakfast or dessert.

Arugula Salad
Arugula isn't to everyone's taste, as it has a slightly spicy, peppery flavor. For those who can't get enough of it, this salad with toasted pine nuts will hit the spot.

Banana Bread
A good way to use up overripe bananas and great as breakfast or a snack.

Basil Pesto
This classic Italian sauce is rich and intense.

Bean Salad with Walnuts and Feta
When you cook your own beans, they are one of the healthiest things out there, and they are delicious with just a pinch of salt. They are also wonderful paired with feta and toasted walnuts, as in this simple bean salad.

Breakfast Burrito
There's no set recipe for breakfast burritos - you can stuff them with pretty much anything you like. This recipe is for a basic breakfast burrito that you can customize to suit your own tastes.

Brownies
The ultimate treat for chocolate lovers.

Buttermilk Coffee Cake
Recipe for a sweet and simple coffee cake with fruit and nuts.

Cashew Chili
Cashew chili is easy, delicious, filling, and vegetarian. What more can you ask for? :-)

Cashew Curry
This vegetarian curry is rich, filling, and delicious, and can easily be made vegan.

Chèvre (Goat Cheese) Salad
The contrast between the cool lettuce and the warm goat cheese and toast makes this a real treat in the summer.

"Chicken" Salad 
This simple tempeh salad really does resemble chicken salad. It's great in sandwiches or atop a green salad.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Delicious and not too sweet. My husband keeps them in the freezer, where they get cold but don't really freeze. They are lovely with a cup of tea.

Cranberry-Nut Bread
A sweet-tart bread that is equally good for dessert, tea, or breakfast.

Curry Burgers
Carrots, chickpeas, mushrooms, onions, and walnuts are mixed with curry for a uniquely spicy veggie burger. Delicious!

Dolmades - Stuffed Grape Leaves
When I think of Greek food, dolmades is one of the first thing that comes to mind, followed by the fact that these grape leaves are stuffed with meat. Fortunately, a vegetarian version of stuffed grape leaves is easy and tasty.

Granola
This crunchy granola has enough protein and fiber to get you through the whole day!

Gravy
This simple, nut-based gravy recipe will satisfy your cravings at Thanksgiving or any other time of year.

Lentil Feta Walnut Salad
An easy recipe for a delicious and protein-packed salad.

Mexican Veggie Burgers
Black beans and cilantro give this veggie burger recipe a definite south-of-the-border flair.

Mixed Salad
There are probably millions of salad possibilities, even for what you might think of as a simple mixed salad. Here are some typical ingredients and a few popular variations.

Mock Tuna Salad
A vegetarian "tuna" salad made with chickpeas, almonds, and seeds. Tuna fish was the very last meat that I gave up, and while this doesn't take exactly like tuna salad, it's close enough that I don't miss the real thing any more.

Pancakes
Pancakes are, for me, the ideal breakfast. They're quick and easy, and customizable to everyone's individual taste. Also see my pages on pancake/waffle mix and pancake/waffle ideas.

Pâté
If you miss the taste of chopped liver, give this vegetarian pâté a try. You might even be able to fool your non-veggie friends.

Peanut Sauce
This peanut sauce recipe is quick, simple, and unbelievably delicious.

Pecan Pie
The richest and most delicious pecan pie you'll ever taste.

Pesto
This classic Italian basil sauce is rich and intense.

Spanish Potatoes
If you like potato dishes, you'll love this Spanish potato recipe with saffron, almonds, and bread crumbs.

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
A variation on a classic Italian sauce: basil pesto mixed with the interesting flavor of sun-dried tomatoes.

A great way to start the day.

Tempeh Hash
