This refreshing mango lassi drink blends mango with yogurt, milk, and ice to make a cool and creamy Indian treat! Using mango pulp makes this recipe easy and avoids any chalky flavor you can sometimes get with fresh mangoes. Sprinkle ground cardamom on top if you like.
Spicy Three Pepper Hummus
My family loves a popular brand of 3 pepper hummus. Unfortunately, they love it so much that a container is demolished in one sitting! This recipe makes 3 times the amount in the sore bought containers for about the same price as one 8 ounce tub.
