Mrs. Pleasant

A big thanks to everyone who came to Fosters!

I hope you had as much fun as I did! :)

Here are the three recipes that I made...

Mango Guacamole

(serves 4-6)

2 Avocados
1 Cup of mango, chopped
1 handful of Cilantro (can be omitted)
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 scallion, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste


Place everything into the food processor, and process unless smooth, you can also keep it chunky by pulsing a few times instead.


Plum Apricot Salsa

(Serves 2-4)

2 Tomatoes, try two different colored ones if possible
2 Plums
2 Apricots
1 Red or Green pepper
1 Scallion
1 Tbsp of Ginger, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste


This can be made two ways, to make it super chunky, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and serve, or pulse in a food processor. This is great as a dip, or on Seitan, Tofu or Fish!


Dill White Bean Spread

1 Can white beans
1/3-1/2 a bunch of Fresh Dill
1-2 Cloves of Garlic
1-2 Tbsps of Extra Virgin Olive Oil



Put everything into a food processor and blend until well mixed. This is excellent w/ chips, pita, veggies or as a sandwich spread. (I spread it on pumpernickel and add avocado slices)



Thanks again! I can't wait for the next Foster's demo!
