Pickled turnips by Chris Patil

Bugs Bunny Guacamole by Smokinhotchef

Holy Guacamole! Run of the mill guacamole is taken over the top with a little spicy reinforcement from salsa. Tomatoes add garden fresh flavor and are rich in lycopene.

Who knew Guacamole could be so easy (and tasty)? by Nick Roche

I must confess that I've never made Guacamole before. It has always been so convenient for others to make or bring to a party that it never really crossed my mind to do it myself; however, the other day there were two nice sized Avocados staring at me in the face on the kitchen counter, perfectly ripe, not too soft, not too hard.

Chipotle Chickpea Dip by K. Garner

This is based on the same-titled recipe on Fat Free Vegan.com. I used heaping tablespoons of chipotle peppers, white onion, and a mixture of fresh and bottled lime juice. This dip is FANtastic. The smokiness of the peppers fools your taste buds. The mouthfeel is there--that umami everyone's looking for--without cheese or meat. You…
