Super Bowl Guacamole

Dip
Lemony White Bean Dip with Arugula, Garlic, and Sea Salt This recipe is a winner on both counts. The arugula provides plenty of peppery flavor and the white beans are packed with fiber—which keeps you fuller longer. The dip in fact is so rich, you will not be able to tell it’s good for you. […]
OLIVE OIL MAYONNAISE
I make mayonnaise weekly, using the freshest eggs, a bit of salt, vinegar and olive oil. You can whisk it together by hand, slowly dripping in the olive oil, or use a food processor to simplify the process. For a few years I struggled with making mayonnaise—the sauce came out too thin or it broke […]

Carrot Habanero Dip
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS To really bring out the fruity-earthy flavor qualities of carrots, a little spicy heat works wonders. This highly seasoned dip is full of vibrant carrot flavor. Cooking the carrots over an initial blast of heat quickly broke down cell walls and released their sugars. To maintain their brilliant color, we avoided […]
