Chef John's Crab Rangoon
While not 'authentic,' these crispy crab and cream cheese wontons are one of the most addictive, delicious, and crowd-pleasing appetizers ever created. That is, if the filling has enough crab in it. I'm using a 1 to 1 ratio of crab to cream cheese.
Rice and Bean Bowl Dinner
This dinner bowl recipe comes together in mere minutes and appeals to vegans and omnivores alike. To bring this meal together even faster, make the avocado-cilantro sauce earlier in the day. We like to keep the corn raw for extra crunch and a fresh flavor, but feel free to use cooked, frozen and thawed, or canned corn kernels, if that's what you prefer.
Heather's Cilantro, Black Bean, and Corn Salsa
This black bean and corn salsa with tomatoes, red onion, and avocado is colorful, easy to make, and delicious. It makes a great party dip served with tortilla chips or topping for tacos and grilled meats in the summer.
