Fresh in the Deli

Our first new Fresh in the Deli dish for October is Indian Spiced Bean Dip, courtesy of Wheatsfield Co-op in Ames, Iowa. Hearty and warming, spiced with curry and garlic, this bean dip is perfect for a fall tailgate party. This creamy, vegan dip goes great with pita chips or crunchy, raw veggies for a wonderful appetizer or easy snack! Spread some on soft pita with lettuce, tomato and onion for an alternative wrap to the standard hummus!

 

Our second Fresh in the Deli dish, perfect for the season, is hearty, vegan Nutted Wild Rice from our friends at Hanover Co-op Food Stores in Hanover, New Hampshire. A blend of wild and brown rice is flavored with fresh orange juice and tossed with pecans, dried cranberries and fresh mint for a fantastic fall side dish. Serve it alongside a Garlic-Rosemary Roasted Chicken from the Deli’s self-serve case, or stuffed into a baked squash for maximum deliciousness!

 

Owners can now save on a Chickenless Chickpea Sandwich, available from our Deli Counter and made just how you like it! This vegan mock chicken salad has incredible flavor and wonderful texture. Highly recommended served on pita bread with green leaf lettuce, vine-ripened tomato, red onion and local sprouts! Try it today for just $3.99, reg. $4.99! What a deal!

 

Lemon Parmesan Tortellini is also on special for owners! Tasty cheese-filled pasta is tossed with artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers & shredded parmesan, in a citrusy vinaigrette! You decide if it’s a meal or a side! Find it in our self-service grab’n’go case, just $7.99/lb, reg. $8.99!

 

Our current featured salsa, Guajillo con Miel, combines smoky ancho and guajillo peppers with sundried tomatoes, lemon juice, honey and more, at just $4.99/lb. Perfect with chips, or on enchiladas!

Our Deli’s new current Featured Beverage is the tasty, seasonal Pumpkin Pie Latte! This drink blends our organic, fair-trade espresso with your choice of milk, plus a drizzle of pumpkin pie syrup! This autumnal delight is sure to get your mouth in the spirit of the season, even if the Texas heat won’t cooperate! Speaking of heat, you can also get this drink on ice!

 

Try our Peanut Butter Banana Dream Smoothie for just $4.49 each! This month’s smoothie special blends frozen bananas with organic peanut butter and your choice of milk to create a fabulous frozen drink!
