Make a restaurant-worthy shrimp cocktail at home with not one, but two dipping sauces inspired by the South. Our recipe calls for cooking the shrimp in a court bouillon, the French term for an aromatic broth, which infuses the shrimp with garlic, lemon, cayenne, and white wine before they even touch the sauces. Although you can certainly opt for store-bought, our dipping accouterments bring bright, bold flavors to the party and don’t require much more than stirring them together.

These beet and white bean sandwiches have a vibrant, creamy filling. Pickling the beets in rice vinegar and thyme leads to a tangy, herb-infused flavor. Making your own pickled beets also eliminates any added sugars that might be in a store-bought version. Paired with alfalfa sprouts, red onion and your favorite bread, these sandwiches are a satisfying plant-based lunch.
