Travel around the world with Nutnut – Part 3

Today we are sharing very easy summer recipes that only require a blender. The recipes can be prepared in minutes. These sauces are ideal for summer parties when you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They can also be a good midday snack.

The first recipe is savory and inspired by Russia. The second is sweet, and inspired by the United States. They are completely different in taste and texture, but both are very interesting to try.
