21 Super Simple 3-Ingredient Recipes

You know how it goes; you're sitting around scrolling through Pinterest, and you see a recipe that looks so delicious you just have to make it for dinner tonight… until you see the long list of ingredients. Your pantry is probably stocked with the basics like olive oil, garlic and salt + pepper, but when a dish calls for things you hardly ever use, it can quickly loose its appeal. But don't give up and head for the drive thru just yet! Here are 21 recipes that you can make with just three simple ingredients.
