(Family Features) Grilling gives summertime a special meaning for many people – especially when it comes to food. Those savory whiffs of barbecuing might call to mind burgers and drumsticks, but don’t forget the sweet smell of seared, steamed, or skewered garden-fresh vegetables to make those colorful, flavorful side dishes too.
By using Violife 100% Vegan Cheeses in your favorite summer recipes, you won’t be sacrificing taste or texture with your meal. Each option is non-GMO and free from dairy, soy, nuts, gluten, preservatives, and lactose. Made from the goodness of plants and available in shreds, slices, wedges, blocks, or as a cream cheese alternative, these vegan cheeses melt, stretch, and are perfect for including as part of any plant-forward summer menu.
