Purple Carrot has a brand new summer menu—here’s what we know

Summer is in full swing, and summer menus are popping up everywhere as different kinds of produce come into season. Bright, fresh ingredients like corn, lemons, basil, limes, and berries are ready to hand—even from meal delivery services.

Purple Carrot’s summer menu is already rolling out. The plant-based meal kit and prepared meal service is one of our favorite meal kit services, especially for those looking for vegan menu options. On the summer menu, which the website declares is part of ‘Hot Vegan Summer,’ there are entrees packed with seasonal ingredients, like squash, zucchini, corn, eggplant, and more.

What’s on the menu this summer at Purple Carrot

Purple Carrot’s summer meal kit options range from backyard favorites to meals that use fresh, seasonal ingredients. You can grab a New England ‘Lobstah’ roll, made with hearts of palm, or summer pilaf with dolmas, or Korean BBQ mushrooms. The vegan lobster roll is available from now until July 29, 2024, so be sure to snag your kits now before the month ends.

Also new this summer: Purple Carrot is rolling out a lineup of backyard barbecue staples, including prepared, shareable sides. Each side serves two. You can choose from the following options:

• Mexican Street Corn Salad
• Creamy Potato Salad
• Mom’s Macaroni Salad
• Creamy Mac and Cheese
• Dad’s Famous Baked Beans
• Summer Quinoa Salad with Black Eyed Peas
• Chipotle Corn and Black Bean Salad

In August, you’ll be able to get all the ingredients for a classic Chicago-style hot dog delivered right to your door from Purple Carrot. The hot dog meal kit comes with the classic array of veggies and toppings that adorn a Chicago Red Hot, including tomatoes, dill pickles, onions, relish, mustard, and more.

When we tested Purple Carrot, our reviewer was impressed with the service’s satisfying portions, wide array of flavors and recipes, and impressive lineup of plant-based prepared meals. The new summer menu options reflect the diversity of ingredients that initially intrigued our reviewer—if you’re looking to try adding more plant-based meals into your rotation, Purple Carrot is a great place to start.
