Warm spicy fava bean dip; drizzle with additional olive oil to serve.
Bean Dips
Fiesta Bean Dip
Warm and kickin’ bean dip. Great for parties. Can be served in a slow cooker or dish. Serve with chips. Also makes a great topping for burritos.
Fiesta Bean Salsa
This bean salsa is great for any occasion. It is quick and can be brought to a summer picnic without spoiling!
Taco Salad Dip
I made this up with ingredients I had when I needed something to take to a Cinco de Mayo luncheon. It has the ingredients of a layered taco dip, but the addition of lettuce makes it like a salad. The best of both worlds!
Nacho Mamas Bean Dip
This is a great way to get your kids to eat beans and you will love it as well! You can add extra onions and canned or fresh jalapeno peppers to taste, but my kids love it this way!
Cheesy Black Bean Guacamole
This is a great twist on a traditional guacamole. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or you can even use it as a spread. It is absolutely delicious and one of my favorite snacks.
Spicy Cannellini Dip
The milder flavor and smooth texture of whipped cannellini beans well complement the flavor and texture of canned pumpkin puree, creating a versatile base for both a spicy bean dip and, with added liquid, a tasty bean soup (serve hot or chilled). Include fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro to complete this quick and easy appetizer or aromatic side dish. Serve with plain pita crisps, crackers, or tortilla chips.
Press Box Vegetable Salsa Dip
Great vegetable-bean dip for any party or appetizer event. Serve with scoop chips or any tortilla chip you like. Enjoy!
White Bean Pate
A tasty alternative to a traditional liver pate. Serve with crusty bread or pita chips. This can be prepared 24 hours ahead.
Black-Eyed Pea and Jalapeno Salsa
This is a quick and flavorful salsa, one of the few ways I can think of to use black-eyed peas. Serve it with tortilla chips or pita crisps to make a zesty appetizer.
Race Day Salsa
Extremely fresh and crunchy, not your typical salsa! This is my husband’s special treat for NASCAR Race Days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months with some loss of texture.
Thai Hummus
Love Thai food? Love hummus? Me too. Here’s a hummus with my favorite traditional Thai flavors including lemon grass, ginger, basil, coconut, lime, and sweet chili. Dip carrots, celery, chips, broccoli, or my favorite sweet pepper strips in this spicy-sweet-savory hummus perfect for warm, tropical days or for when you need to scratch that Thai food itch.
Super Easy and Spicy Black Eyed Pea and Corn Salsa
I came up with this topping/side dish while trying to figure out how I could get the only two vegetables my husband eats into one dish. It’s great over pan-fried fish, a healthy alternative to queso on enchiladas, and wonderful with brown rice. It’s spicy and simple. Like our love!
