Plant-based

This is one of the most beautiful side dishes in my repertoire. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it's also endlessly delicious. The pistachios are the most precious of the “jewels” in this dish! It can be eaten by itself, or with some roasted chicken, or seafood.
You read that correctly, a chocolate salami! But don’t be afraid, there’s no meat in this fun and simple dessert. Once it's done it truly looks like a big salami and the pistachios and lady fingers look like spices and fat. It’s the perfect party dessert as your guests can cut their own slices directly on a cutting board. I guarantee this will be the talk of your party!
I love to add spinach to my pesto, it gives it a sweet freshness and makes the color POP even more! A jar of freshly made pesto makes a great hostess gift. I love to serve this on a block of cream cheese with some nice sundried tomatoes on top or on some homemade pasta!
Spring rolls are actually really easy to make. I love them as a fresh side dish for the warmer months. You can even get your family to help and everyone can make their own! You can also add some shrimp or shredded chicken. Don’t forget the dipping sauce, it's half the fun!
