Carrot Ginger – use quartered, peeled carrots, and fresh sliced ginger. Eat these as snacks or make a little tapas appetizer plate as we show below.

Cabbage Hot Pepper (for city tacos!) – slice the cabbage and marinate with rings of hot peppers. You can drain and use this masterpiece to top city tacos or fish tacos. It is also delicious on a sandwich.

Garam Masala Cucumber – use freshly sliced cucumbers and 1 tablespoon of garam masala whole spices. We served these over ice cream, in drinks, on salads, in sandwiches, and as a garnish for many meals.

Mushrooms and Thyme – use quartered mushrooms and fresh sprigs of thyme. These pair well with a roasted dinner.

Cauliflower – remove the florets from the head of cauliflower and marinate them in the basic liquid plus black pepper, fresh oregano, and garlic powder. Add a little lemon zest. Serve as a chilled salad.

Berry Chutney – use a mix of apples, berries, onions, and cinnamon. Add a little grated orange, too. These go very well with yogurt or over roasted poultry.
