Parsley-walnut-almonds-pecan nuts pesto/dip
About:
A traditional winter pesto made from parsley and mixed nuts instead of basil and pine nuts.
It’s just as green, garlicky, cheesy, and nutty
You can serve them with some cut up fresh veggies, crackers, pita bread, pancakes or really, whatever comes to mind. The pesto is also delicious as a pasta sauce or for as a garnish on minestrone or vegetable soups. You can substitute basil for the parsley and pine nuts for the mixed toasted nuts in the recipe below for a traditional basil pesto, or try using artichokes and walnuts, peppers and cashews…get creative!
Health Benefits:
Nuts are a tasty snack packed with nutrition. They’re good for your health as long as they’re not candy-coated, fried in oil or covered with salt. They’re available raw and roasted, but is one better than the other? Either way, nuts average about 185 calories per ounce

Pineapple mint vinaigrette dressing (Zero oil) on roasted vegetables
About:
Fresh homemade dressing is the amalgamation of sweet and tangy taste with flavour of mint. It is spiced with jalapenos. The spiciness can be adjusted by skipping jalapenos and by adding ground pepper. I served this with zucchini-bell pepper-onion roasted salad.
Yields: 2-3 servings
