It's OK to Have Dip for Dinner

Published July 26, 2021

Plus, a recipe for the first of the year’s glorious tomatoes and a succotash paella

Dips fall among my favorite snacks: and what better dip is there this time of year than one made with eggplant? Serve Mark’s version with a slew of crostini or toasted pita and it’s totally satisfying. Have it with, say, ricotta and cherry tomatoes drizzled with great olive oil, and, yes, the two together can make for a fun, easy dinner.

For the last recipe, welcome back to Mark’s friend, Edward Schneider, who Mark introduced a while back: Today, Ed is all about paella. Thanks for reading. — Melissa
