Root Beer Barbecue Sauce

White Bean and Pesto Dip
Serve this lowfat dip with healthy dippers, such as Armenian cracker bread, sliced red bell pepper, carrot sticks and cauliflower and broccoli florets.
Avocado and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
This salsa is excellent with grilled shrimp, fish, or chicken.
This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Spiced Persimmon Chutney
Here's a tangy relish to go with ham, roasted pork or the Thanksgiving turkey.
Meyer Lemon "Jam"
This recipe was inspired by the delicious lemon-oregano jam Mario Batali serves at Babbo, in New York City. Try a dollop of our version on poached or grilled fish or chicken, or use it as a dip for steamed asparagus or artichokes.
Tapenade with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Davina uses this olive paste as a pizza topping, as a flavor pickup for purchased pasta sauces and as a spread for baguette slices.

Tropical Fruit Compote with Mango Sorbet
This eye-catching fruit mélange also includes kiwi, which isn't tropical but is very colorful and refreshing. Using store-bought sorbet makes this even easier to prepare.
French Pickled Garlic
Mellowed by brief cooking and wine, this pickled garlic is very mild in flavor. Slice it to add to salads or use as a garnish. Or top off the jar with olive oil, and serve the whole cloves as an appetizer.
