Even if vegetarianism isn't your thing, it does pay to eat like one sometimes. Here's a fabulous list of stuff you can make on days you feel vegetarian, or, when you feel like throwing a vegetarian-themed party.
1. Vegetarian Pancakes
......Pancake? Korean vegetable pancake or Swiss Rösti? It's okay, I'm kinda confused too. I guess the point is to have vegetables be fried in a pancake shape.
And don't you think it looks like "the perfect party appetizer"?

Note: The Korean version uses sweet potato.
2. Tabbouleh
Yes you can get it at Whole Foods, but making it can be a fun thing to do too: get some friends to come over earlier to help with this simple party dish. No cooking required.

3. Tomato Quiche
If you want something that's hearty and easy to serve, why not give tomato quiche a try?

4. Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)
Cheese, spinach, buttery flaky pastry---it's just self-explanatory. Apparently, the Turkish have something like Spanakopita too, and it's called ıspanaklı börek.

5. Spicy Red Lentil Soup
Think of throwing a vegetarian party during winter? Make this so everyone can stay warm and healthy. And lentil is a brain food, isn't it?
Have a look at this Moroccan Lentil Soup.
6. Pakora
Who doesn't like deep-fried snacks, especially when seasoned with a bunch of aromatic spices? Try this for an Indian-themed vegetarian party.

7. Ratatouille Pie
You don't have to make it the traditional way. Arrange the vegetables onto a pie base. Now you can invite both your American and French friends over for dinner. Check out this breathtaking recipe of it on youtube.
8. Stuffed Red Peppers with Basil
Not only will this look great on the party table--the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of red peppers is a strong reason you should try making it. And if you love Italian flavors, this is for you.
9. Tempeh Salad
Tempeh is high in protein just like tofu, which makes it a good addition to any vegetarian dish. Who could have imagined how beautifully tempeh would blend in with the greens? Impress your Indonesian friends with this recipe for tempeh salad.
