Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

Scones are perfect for weekend house guests, hostess gifts, or picnics. Traditionally made with loads of butter and cream, mine use far less butter--and whole-grain flour.

A healthy and filling middle eastern dip! Eat it as an appetizer or snack with some pita. Why buy your hummus ready made from the store, when you can make it yourself?

My mom gave me this recipe. She eats it daily. It is very tasty! I started losing weight after adding it to my regular diet. Sometimes I add hot sauce to spice it up a bit! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I fell in love with tzatziki the first time I tried it and was on a quest to find the recipe that included those ingredients that pleased my particular palate best. This recipe is low-fat, high-protein, nutritious, smooth, Mediterranean, refreshing, light, and hopefully the best you've ever had!

There's this salad at Buca Di Beppo and they use a dressing similar to this on their Apple Gorgonzola Salad. It's not right according to my boyfriend who works there, but i love it anyway. It's always better after a few days in the fridge. (ps, this isn't my recipe, i found in on the internet look for meemoskitchen on google)

This is our family's favorite salad dressing - we have it over both leafy and chopped salads! Delicious as a marinade too! Nutritional information is calculated for approximately eight 2-tablespoon servings - your personal preference may be to use less - the flavors are quite strong and a little goes a long way!

This is a great way to have your pizza and eat it, too! You don't get the pleasure of thick crust, but the flavor is fantastic and it's very quick to make!!

I roasted my own red peppers ahead of time and fresh whole clove garlic, this hummus is a great alternative to heavy party dips!

The thick, creamy texture allows this dip to be eaten alone, as a dip, a spread or a condiment. I like to use this tangy dip as a replacement for mayonnaise.
