Thanksgiving can be a tough holiday for those who don’t partake in meat, but with some careful planning, it is possible to get through the day relatively unscathed. Even though pasta isn’t traditionally thought of as a Thanksgiving dish, it’s been showing up on the table more and more throughout recent years and it’s a safe meatless option.

peeking around the corner are visible. Hearty squash can be found alongside
fresh peaches at the farmer's market, and the weather can be unpredictable with
temperatures in the low 70s followed by scorching hot days in the 90s. This
Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad combines both worlds, with both summery greens
and autumnal roasted root veggies.
