Soul ©Pixar | Disney
Recently, DOLE released 12 recipes created for or inspired by Pixar’s Soul. Oh, and 5 of these recipes are actually PIZZAS inspired by Joe Gardner’s love of pizza (we are right there with you Joe). You’ve got to check these out!
Before we hop into the recipes, we did want to mention that these are all part of DOLE’s plant-based, healthy living initiative. DOLE is expanding that initiative by exploring the special connection between food, cooking, and music.
Some of these recipes are gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, so if you’ve got specific eating needs these could be great for you to check out. We’ve marked the recipes with some letters by their names so you know what to look for:
- V: Vegetarian
- VG: Vegan
- GF: Gluten-Free
- LS: Low Sodium
