Puree of Asparagus Soup with Parmesan Twist

This is a very fresh taste tomato salsa and also quick and easy, chopped some fresh tomatoes, sweet red bell pepper, tossed with freshly chopped cilantro and parsley leaves, serve with your favorite chips.

Good as a quick barbecue sauce but we use it for a dipping sauce for chicken fingers or homemade chicken nuggets.

A classic combination using fresh ingredients instead of dry and salty onion soup mix. Perfect for veggies or as a chip dip.

Oven-roasted cherry tomato and garlic make this delicious dip absolutely addictive. Sweet, tangy and garlicky. You can dip some crunchy vegetables into it, spread it over the toast or toss it with some pasta. Heirloom or vine-ripe tomatoes work well too.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

Simply saute the beet greens with some garlic, a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mix the soft goat cheese with some fresh thyme leaves, which are placed on top of toasted bread. Great flavor and texture all in one bite.

It sounds weird, but it's really good! Not too unhealthy either. This only takes about 6 minutes to make. Great for a quick lunch for one!

Put all ingredients together. Prepare ahead of time and refrigerate.
