Grilling gives summertime a special meaning for many peo-
ple – 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 skew-
ered garden-fresh vegetables to make those colorful, flavor-
ful side dishes too.

This summer consider adding a vegan twist to those classic
veggie sides like grilled corn on the cob or crunchy cole-
slaw with the help of Violife 100% Vegan Cheese. By add-
ing a vegan cheese to these recipes, you can spice them up
