Roundup of 29 Healthy Legume Recipes including soups, salads, dips, main-meal ideas, and more!

In case you missed the memo, we have been celebrating all things legumes this week – Legumes 101 & Basics of Cooking Legumes. On a side note, have you entered the giveaway yet? Originally, I was going to share a lentil-based recipe (vegetarian shepherd’s pie to be exact) but the pictures came out less than appetizing which is totally unfair for something so comforting, wholesome, and delicious. So, vegetarian shepherd’s pie will be shared at some point later. In the meantime, I have 29 Healthy Legume Recipes to inspire you to include more legumes in your everyday diet because legumes are super versatile. nutritious, and inexpensive.

I have divided 29 legume recipes into different categories with vegan or gluten-free (gf) designation so it is easier for you to navigate through recipes.
