I am constantly trying to find creative and tasty ways to eat my greens, I have exhausted greens in green smoothies, green juices, and soups, and here finally is a simple, and tasty way to eat your greens. This recipe has 11 ingredients and cooks up in less than 20 minutes. I like to use a variety of greens from my garden and farmer’s market and whatever you do, save your turnip, radish, and beet tops to throw into the mix. Serve, smothered over, quinoa, basmati rice, or sweet potatoes or as a fabulous side dish. It’s delish.

Strawberry and rhubarb make the perfect marriage of flavors, the juicy sweet meets the tart. Add on a crumbly topping and you have yourself the perfect summer dessert.

This hemp milk is more than creamy, it is velvety and silky. The two things which make it so are 1) The Cap Beauty Daily The Coconut Butter , which is a 100% stone ground, next level in texture and taste coconut butter. The fat from the coconut butter makes this milk last in the fridge for an epically long time, up to 7 days. 2) And using Ellie’s Best Nut Milk bags , which every time yield, the perfect pulp-free nut milk.

This salad was inspired by my favorite salad at the now closed, Campanile, created by renowned chef Nancy Silverton (of Osteria Mozza), Mark Peel and Manfred Frankl. It has actually been closed since 2012. Sniff, sniff. The restaurant was beautifully housed in one of Charlie Chaplin’s former offices on La Brea Boulevard in Los Angeles and the food was uncomplicated yet inventive and impeccable.

This garlicky, lemon artichoke dip is a real crowd pleaser. Perfect for entertaining, the last time I made it, it disappeared in 5 minutes flat, I am not exaggerating. I think it was the crispy Charred Shallots. The artichoke dip itself, is made with canned or jarred artichokes, available year round. It is garlicky, lemony and creamy, great with sliced vegetables, almond crackers or chips.

This recipe was featured in the Fall issue of Naturally Danny Seo. Now that that issue is off the news stand, I am sharing the recipe here too. I’ll keep you posted for my upcoming column in this quarterly, healthy living magazine, founded by my friend and sustainable living lifestyle guru, Danny Seo. I feel so lucky living in California, where we get really good Mexican food.
