My 5-Minute Meal

Any pasta or gnocchi dish! Everyone who follows me on Instagram knows how obsessed I am with Italian food! It’s all I’ve ever known, and I really couldn’t live without it! Plus, pasta and gnocchi are easy to combine with any kind of sauce, so you can really make a dish out of nothing.

Transform a Salad With a Stellar Dressing

My all-time favorite one is a maple syrup mustard sauce! It’s super easy to make and fits perfectly every type of salad I’ve tried so far. You can make it by mixing 2 tsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 1½ tbsp mustard. Add a splash of water and there you have the most delicious salad dressing ever!
