Healthy Recipes loves these recipes - so quick and easy and a pure pleasure to serve and to be able to say, “I made that.” This is a meatless dip which is the perfect accompaniment to green beans, zucchini, radishes and cherry tomatoes. Also with healthy crackers (that means no hydrolyzed oil in them). If by chance the dip is too dry, just add about 2 tbsp warm water and mix.
INGREDIENTS:
3 - 15 ounce cans white kidney beans (cannellini) rinsed and drained
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp grated lemon zest
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice.
NEXT TO DO:
Combine the beans, water, cheese, garlic, oil, sage, oregano, sea salt and pepper in a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker; mix well. Cover beans and cook until the cheese softens 1 to 2 hours on high or 3 to 4 hours on low.
Add the lemon juice and the zest; coarsely mash the bean mixture with a potato masher or a large wooden bamboo spoon until all ingredients are blended. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This Healthy Recipe is absolutely the best.

Healthy Recipes loves our fruit salads. We are so fortunate to live in a part of the world where we had access to beautiful fruit of all kinds; whatever is not grown in this beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, is imported. So, we have all the healthy goods at our fingertips - no excuse to be heavy.
This salad is particularly fancy, as it has a sparkle to it.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups fresh strawberries halved
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 - 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced
2 bananas, sliced (put aside in bowl with lemon juice coating, to keep from turning brown)
1 cup seedless green and 1 cup seedless red grapes
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 small bottle Ginger Ale
2 tsp lemon juice
1 8-ounce container plain or vanilla fat free yogurt
NOW FOLLOW ME:
In large dressy glass salad bowl, combine strawberries, bananas coated in lemon juice, blueberries, kiwi, red and green seedless grapes. Mix salad by tossing gently.
In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla and mix well. Set aside.
When ready to serve, pour Ginger Ale over fruit in large fancy bowl.
When serving each bowl, top with a dollop of the yogurt mixture. This is the tastiest fruit salad with a zing to it.
