Travel around the world with Nutnut – Part 3

Today we're sharing some super-easy summer recipes that only require a blender. These recipes can be prepared in just a few minutes. These sauces are ideal for summer parties when you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They also make a great midday snack.

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