Do Ramadan Right With These Vegan Recipes

During the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the globe fast from dawn until sunset every day. According to this article, we’re reminded to feel compassion for those less fortunate than ourselves when we abstain from eating. After the sun sets and the daily fast ends, the most compassionate meal is a #VeganRamadan dish. You can sleep well each night knowing that no animals suffered for your dinner.

Get ready to crave falafel hot dogs, lentil balls, fattoush, and more. The month will be Ramadone before you know it, so impress your friends with the vegan recipes below. Happy Ramadan!
