Toasted Pumpkin Seed Dip: This ancient Mayan recipe is sure to get attention around your table. And the best part…it’s better for you and vegan! The ancient Mayans were ingenious in crafting recipes with limited ingredients while still maximizing flavor. By toasting the pumpkin seeds, they added a hint of smokiness and nuttiness to this dip, complemented by a subtle kick of heat. GET THE RECIPE HERE
Loaded Hummus: This dip is not only delicious, but it makes for a beautiful presentation on the table at any gathering. While traditionally served with pita chips or toasted pitas, we’ve opted for a refreshing twist by pairing it with sliced fresh zucchini, but you can add any of your favorite veggies to create a crudité platter for dipping.

Easy Savory Chicken Salad: The secret ingredient in this Easy Savory Chicken Salad (at least for a little while) is rosemary! Feel free to get creative, like we did, with what you put your Easy Savory Chicken Salad on. We have tried toasted sourdough rounds, naan, mixed greens, and low-carb wraps. If you’re using wraps, try a little arugula in your wrap. GET THE RECIPE HERE
