Aji Verde Peruvian Style Green Sauce

Ají Verde, the iconic Peruvian green sauce, gets its robust, luscious flavor from ají amarillo paste, lime, scallions, and plenty of cilantro.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 small limes)
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, trimmed, leaves and stems coarsely chopped (about 2 packed cups)
1 medium garlic clove, coarsely chopped
5 scallions, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon ají amarillo (peruvian yellow chile) paste, or 1 tablespoon seeded and coarsely chopped serrano or jalapeño chile
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Direction

Place all ingredients in a blender. Process on low, gradually increasing speed, until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and chill sauce at least 1 hour before serving. (This allows flavors to meld and mellow out.)

Easy No Bake Strawberry Ice Cream Cake

It's hard to find a summer dessert easier and more refreshing than this combination of strawberry ice cream and a purchased 10-inch angel food cake! Layers of cake and ice cream, frosted with a purchased frozen whipped topping, are stored in the freezer until you are ready to garnish and slice. This should keep, covered, in the freezer for a week or two. I've never been able to find out exactly how long it will store, because it's usually gone in a few days!

Crispy Ricotta-Kale Tacos

Be sure to heat the tortillas in a hot skillet before stuffing them with the ricotta-kale mixture. Warming them up first makes them more pliable and less likely to break during the stuffing and cooking process. Opt for high-quality organic yellow corn tortillas; they tend to be chewier and more satisfying when fried.

Smoked Salmon Sushi Roll

Homemade salmon roll made with sushi rice, nori, and smoked salmon. This is a very basic and easy recipe for making sushi. It might take a while to learn how to make a perfect roll, but you'll have fun trying! Add wasabi (Japanese horseradish) for a good kick!
