OPA! To a Better You

I'm a snacker, and one with a salt tooth at that.  The crunchier, the saltier, the better.  It's been years since I've bought melba toast, mostly because I recall them as bland and good just for babies.  Well, things have changed, and I've been enjoying Old London's Melba Toast and Melba Snacks in soups, with dips, and just for plain snacking.

This weekend, Chris roasted some peppers and eggplants on the grill and I turned them into a fabulous baba ganoush dip which was quite tasty on Old London's Sea Salt Melba Snacks.

I simply took the cooled, grilled vegetables and blended them in a food processor with 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste), 2 garlic cloves, a tsp of cumin, the juice of one lemon, and olive oil (enough to achieve the desired consistency.  Oh, and salt and pepper to taste.

Really delicious with some cilantro as the garnish.  The roasted eggplant adds smokiness to the dish which complements the crunch and saltiness of the Melba Snacks.

Did you know you can make desserts using Old London Melba Snacks?  This recipe for Chocolate-Pistachio crunch looks amazing.

You can find more recipes on the website too.
