    Vegan Potluck Tips & FAQs

    What vegan dishes are crowd favorites at potlucks?

    My avocado pasta salad and vegan spinach artichoke dip consistently get recipe requests! For heartier options, vegan baked ziti serves 8 to 10 easily and stays warm during the party. If you want something unique, the air fryer buffalo tofu is always a conversation starter.

    Are these recipes also gluten-free?

    Many are naturally gluten-free, including the dips, salads, and several mains like the vegan shepherd’s pie and butternut squash risotto. For pasta dishes, just swap in your favorite gluten-free pasta. Check each recipe for full allergen details. If you need an entirely gluten-free potluck menu, see my collection of gluten-free potluck ideas.
