Hello everyone,
The air is crisp, the leaves are getting crunchy, but for some reason, the weather hasn’t quite turned to fall just yet.
I recently needed to make an appetizer for a weekend potluck. During the fall, I love to make winter squash salad and more ‘hearty’ foods. I took this opportunity to make one last “feel good” summer flavored appetizer. I made my indulgent vegan macaroni salad. Check out this quick and easy (under 30 minutes!) recipe below!
Cheers,
Jocelyn
