Fresh cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, roasted garlic, and tomatoes. Served best as a sidekick to a bowl of guac and a basket of corn chips. 1 batch serves 6-8. $10

Classic guac made like Dos Caminos in NYC. What makes it undeniably better lies in the texture, combining creamy mashed avocado with small chunks to create a chunky-smooth texture that’s perfection. Serve with tortilla chips and /or fresh bell peppers, carrots, and jicama. Includes corn chips. 1 batch serves 6-8. $15 Veg crudité +$4.

At Dos Caminos (for my cocktail) it’s always the Prickly Pear Margarita, but no shame in sipping a Smokey Margarita, Paloma, Mexican Martini, or Agua de Rancho.

The Italian answer to hummus made with cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon, and parsley, served with pita chips or baby carrots, red bell pepper, and sugar snap peas. Includes pita chips. 1 batch serves 6-8. $15 Veg crudité +$4

Delicious with any spritz, Negroni, or Cosmopolitan.

Same as above recipe with the addition of roasted beets which provide a beautiful color and slightly nutty, sweet flavor profile. Includes pita chips. Serves 6-8. $15 Veg crudité +$4

Delicious with a Cosmopolitan, Pear, or Lychee Martini, or a St. Germain Spritz.

Creamy, and oh so much better than store-bought, our hummus is garnished with chickpeas, parsley or cilantro, and a dusting of cumin. Includes pita chips. Serves 6-8. $15 Veg crudité +$4

A great appetizer for a Blood Orange or Hibiscus Margarita, Aperol or Campari Spritz.

Goat cheese meets crème fraiche (French sour cream) and Parmesan to make this luscious dip.

Includes crackers. 1 batch serves 6-8. $15 Veg crudité +$4, assorted fruits +$5
