Edamame Salsa
A life without salsa would be a sad life indeed.
A week or so ago, I had a dinner party--and served three different types of salsa throughout the meal.
Mango Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
I love food (obviously). And I have made a happy deal with myself that I can have the pasta, garlic bread (and the brownie too) as long as I workout... but this can be a flawed deal.
I only have so many hours to spend in the gym working off said meal and let's face it, working out sucks. So I made a new deal. I cook healthier dishes during the week and the more indulgent selections are kept for the weekends.
Green Sauce
RECIPE:
1/4cup olive oil
4-5 Garlic Cloves
12oz bag frozen shelled Edamame, defrosted
¼ Cup or about 3 Scallions, greens and whites
16oz Frozen Spinach, thawed and slightly drained
½ Cup Parmesan
½ cup Fresh Parsley, un-chopped
1Tbs Hot Sauce
1 lime, juice
1tsp Garlic Powder
1.5tsp Salt
Combine everything in a food processor and puree until smooth. Stream in water to thin out and get the consistency you want, about ½ cup. Saute in a pan for 5-7 minutes, add more water if necessary. Leave thicker if using a spread for sandwiches and wraps or thin it out to put over pasta, toss with rice or serve over Chicken, Shrimp or Beef. Enjoy!!
Makes 3.5 - 4cups
NOTES:
- Leave out oil to make this extra low calorie and add more water instead
