Scale

  • 1 can artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 2 large avocado, diced
  • 1 large cucumber, seeded and diced
  • 1 large red pepper, finely diced
  • 2 mangoes, diced
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbs fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/4 fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 limed, juiced
  • 2 tsp old bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper
  • Garlic Herb White Bean Dip
  • 2 cans cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbs fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 tbs fresh dill
  • 2 tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Dill Pickle Dip
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz block cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 1 cup pickles, finely diced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Vegetable Ceviche
  2. Combine all the vegetables and herbs together in a large bowl and toss until combined. Pour over the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, Old Bay, and the salt and pepper and toss. This will hold for a week in the fridge without the avocado’s browning, it’s basically magic. Serve with tortilla chips.
  3. White Bean Garlic and Herb Dip
  4. Pour the beans and olive oil into a food processor and blend on low until the beans are creamy. Add in the remaining ingredients and process on high for one minute until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The dip will have a greenish hue. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and serve with veggies or pita chips.
  5. Dill Pickle Yogurt and Cream Cheese Dip
  6. Add the yogurt and cream cheese into a medium size bowl and whip with a hand mixer or a whisk until the cream cheese is mixed into the yogurt and it’s one creamy dip. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Garnish with more pickles and dill and serve with wavy or ruffled potato chips (they’re stronger and better made for dipping).
