Food trucks are one of the best crazes in my book. You know anything that comes through that window is going to be mind blowing. The author of Secret Sauces, Vanessa Seder found her inspiration for this recipe from a food truck in NYC on her lunch break. This " white sauce" recipe is definitely one to keep in your back pocket. It is a great base for dips, or dipping sauce by adding fresh herbs or strait up on smoky barbecued meats. Whatever your preference you will not be let down.

The addition of Harissa to the hummus creates both a tasty and healthy dish.  Use this on pita bread or as a side with other classic Middle Eastern dishes.  The fresh flavor, coupled with the subtle heat of the Harrisa, will make it the star of the meal.

This authentic Salsa Roja has a delicious depth of flavor. The charred smoky and spicy chiles mixed with earthy mexican oregano, floral coriander, and sweet and acidic tomatoes make for a great topping for enchiladas, tacos, or with tortilla chips.
