Love this salad. We jut had some leftover wild rice, and we didn't have sweet bell pepper, so used the picked hot cherry pepper instead, also added some sliced celery and smoked tofu. It came out delicious. A very good side dish or can be a wholesome and tasty main dish as well.

This is one of our favorites. I add more lemon (yes, with the rind!). It's sooo good! Not bitter. I looked online to find it because I misplaced my "Award winning recipes" cookbook in the move. I use vinegar instead of wine (about half the amount) because we don't stock wine.

Mihshi malfuf bi zayt (meatless cabbage rolls): Lebanese vegetarian cabbage rolls stuffed with rice, chickpeas, tomato, and parsley, simmered with garlic, mint, and lemon. Served cold or lukewarm.

This is one of my absolute favorite things to make at this time of year. It takes almost no time to prepare, so I’ll whip up a big batch on my day off and then all I have to do when I get home is put it in a bowl or mash it up and put it on toasted bread drizzled with some olive oil. It also makes a great appetizer along with some homemade or store-bought pita chips. Honestly, when serving this as a dip or a spread, I don’t even bother taking out my food processor, I just use the bottom of a glass and mash it a bit.

This is a good recipe to use when you need to get rid of some aggression because the dough is too heavy for most mixers. So you have to use your hands and beat it! You can also use peanut butter or butterscotch chips or a mixture of them.
