Hummus & Fire Oil Recipes

I am adding this so I have a link for a hummus recipe that I like. I made it with the walnuts but now that I have successfully made tahini and it is not that hard, I will do that in the future. I also like the Fire Oil and will keep that on hand and use in other dishes for taste. So, here it is from 101 Cookbooks site.

I am going to make this to add to a Taco salad. My favorite is this Taco Mac Salad . This would be a good dip for veggies or top over grilled chicken. 2 large ripe avocados, pits reserved raw kernels from one large ear of corn 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced 1/4 medium onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced juice of 2 medium limes small handful cilantro, chopped (about 1/3 cup, packed) 1/8 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon high-quality sea salt or to taste freshly ground black pepper Mash 1 1/2 avocados in a bowl and add remaining ingredients. Chop the remaining avocado half and stir gently into the mix. Add the pits when storing to prevent browning. Enjoy!

Creamy Avocado Cilantro Salad Dressing/Vegetable Dip

This would be great on green salads, it also serves as a vegetable dip with raw carrots, celery, green beans, bell peppers, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes. It is also pretty easy to make. 1 large avocado, ripe juice of 1 lime 1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro 1 clove garlic 1/4 cup plain yogurt 3/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt Puree all ingredients in a blender and serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!

Chunky Salsa

Randy's grandma gave us this salsa the other day and I can tell you it is too much of a temptation for me. She got this from Aunt Beth who got it for Christmas.

Still I am passing this along because you all need to try it. You'll love it. Combine all ingredients. This will store in fridge for 3 days (if it lasts that long). 2 each 14-15 oz cans of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion 2 each of fresh tomatoes diced 1 can shoepeg corn (green giant packs it) 1 small can of chopped olives 1 small can of diced green chilies (use all or part, according to taste) 1 thinly sliced green onions 1/3 chopped /diced white or yellow onion 2 fresh avocado chopped or diced 1/2 cup of Italian dressing Juice of fresh lime 1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro chopped (use as much or as little as you like) red chili p...
