Print Cream of Celery Soup
Thanks to the bright and bursting flavor of the celery, you really don’t need too many ingredients for this soup. And thanks to the velvety richness of the potato, you don’t need a lot of cream either (or, to be honest, any).

Print Banana "Ice-Cream" Sandwiches
This recipe calls for only two ingredients and some patience. It takes a while for the bananas to freeze. And then, once they’re frozen, it takes a while for them to get creamy in the food processor. And then it really is best to freeze the assembled sandwiches until they’re solid. But after that? Creamy, dreamy perfection. It’s totally worth the wait!

Print Mix-and-Match Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a classic sandwich side or—depending on where you live—topping. What kind do you like best? You don’t have to pick! Our all-in-one recipe offers you basic instructions for making three different variations. We don’t usually call for bags of vegetables that are already cut, but we make an exception for coleslaw because it’s tricky to cut cabbage very thinly (even for an adult). If you want to make your own cabbage mix, shred or finely slice 1/2head of green, savoy, or napa cabbage and shred 2 carrots.

Tropical fruits have such deliciously complex flavors—a mix of sweet and creamy and tangy—that they really don’t need any other ingredients to make them shine. But stirring a little shredded coconut into this salad is a nice way to amp up the tropical vibe.
