Print Recipe
Print
  1. Process the garlic, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until coarsely pureed; let sit 10 minutes to allow garlic to mellow.
  2. Strain garlic mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible. Return liquid to food processor; discard solids. Add tahini and pulse to combine. With motor running, add 1/4 cup ice water by the tablespoon and process (it may seize up at first) until mixture is very smooth, pale and thick. Add chickpeas and cumin and puree for several minutes until the hummus is smooth, pale and thick. Then puree some more! Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, lemon juice and cumin if you like.

Charred Snap Peas with Mint and Lemon

Print Recipe
Print
people
  1. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and garlic and saute over high heat, stirring frequently, for about minutes until the peas are tender-crisp and slightly charred or blistering. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint, lemon zest and juice and a pinch of salt. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired before serving warm.
Notes:

Serving suggestion: Poultry and fish pair well with this simple vegetable dish and leftover can be chilled and served in tomorrow's lunch salad. Change the profile of this dish by using a flavored olive oil or seasoned smoke or coarse-crystal salts, such as kosher or Maldon. But proceed with caution, as flaky salts dissolve faster than granular salts on the tongue, resulting in a saltier flavor. Crush the flakes between your fingers and add a pinch at a time to suit your taste.

Print Recipe
Print
people
  1. In a blender or food processor, mince the garlic, then add the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar and salt, and puree. Scrape down and repeat if necessary, then drizzle in the olive oil with the machine running. Reserve.
  2. Arrange the arugula on each of four salad plates, then top it with carrot shreds and tomatoes. Pile the salmon in the center. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
Notes:

Serving suggestion: This simple salad is a great lunch, and the soft, salty salmon pairs perfectly with the crisp greens and creamy dressing. Use fat-free yogurt and low-fat mayo if you want to cut the fat content, and snip some fresh dill over the salad before serving.
