Fruit And Veggie Tip: Blanch

BLANCH

• Almonds in water for 15 seconds and peel for a new twist on a healthy snack.
• Basil and parsley leaves. Blend together with olive oil, pine nuts, garlic and a little lemon juice for a great pesto!
• Broccoli and cauliflower to use on a vegetable platter for snacks and appetizers.
• Broccoli rabe in salted water to reduce bitterness. Then cook like broccoli.
• Carrots, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus and broccoli. Marinate in your favorite low-fat vinaigrette and serve cold. If desired, add other veggies like onions, mushrooms and peppers.
