Cuisinart Mini Prep® Food Processor
A mini food processor is great for quickly blending pestos and dips or chopping vegetables and nuts. With a stainless steel base and 21-ounce capacity bowl, it’s compact and easier to operate than a standard food processor for small jobs. Use it to make Vegan Parmesan (page xx) or a variety of dips and dressings such as Garlic Horseradish Mayo (page xx), Lemony Mustard Vinaigrette (page xx) and Cilantro Chimichurri (page xx).
