Lunchtime on our side of the world! Since I have my parents over I wanted to keep things simple as we want to spend as much time together as possible. I might have mentioned before that my mom love mangoes so I treated them on an easy lunch pasta with a mango parsley dressing.
They loved it. Even my dad wasn't complaining about the dish being vegan. Though he reduced his meat portions drastically the past few months, vegetarian or vegan dishes are not his thing.
But he admitted that it was good! One bite at a time. I know he will never be a vegan or vegetarian and that's absolutely fine. Like mentioned before, I don't want to push people into certain diets, but I want him to eat more fruits and veggies.... a win for me today!
EASY LUNCH PASTA WITH MANGO MAYONNAISE
INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4)
For the salad
1 cup tomato finely chopped
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, finely chopped
1 cup cucumber finely cubed

Wow @amy-goodrich you reminded me how awesome it is to be a vegan, I personally was one but had to switch to lacto-ovo vegetarianism due to nut and seed sensitivity, this really looks amazing, especially that mango dressing, now I've gotta try that, it looks like something I would make on a hot summer day :)
We love being vegan. I can imagine that it is not easy with nut and seed sensitivities. I am vegan 99 percent of my time. We make an occasional exception for eggs from our garden (garden came with chickens and geese that freely roam our garden. I think they are very happy that we are vegans hehe) and Cambodian wild honey. Steem on an have and have a great Sunday!
