Enjoy it to your pasta or pizza sauce, sprinkle it on sandwiches and in wraps, incorporate it into your salad dressings and soups, toss veggies with it before or after roasting or grilling, add it to steaming water for artichokes, sprinkle it on your crazy salads and homemade veggie pizza, stir into grain and bean salads or dishes that combine greens and beans, in a stuffing for peppers, mushrooms or zucchini, on homemade whole grain croutons (recipe in The Foodie Bar Way) or in your favorite bean spread.
