Tahini-Yogurt Dip
Serve this creamy yogurt dip with baby carrots, sliced radishes or whole-wheat pita triangles.

If you have a bit more time and a few extra ingredients at your disposal, try enhancing the cream cheese with chopped fresh herbs like dill or chives.

Broiled zucchini slices are the perfect vessel for delivering small bites of creamy burrata cheese for a quick and easy appetizer or side. We love the creamy center of burrata cheese, but feel free to swap it out for pieces of fresh mozzarella or mozzarella pearls.
Almost Chipotle’s Guacamole
Make guacamole at home that tastes just like it came from Chipotle–but don’t worry, our version won’t be extra! This deliciously fresh guac is perfect for topping burrito bowls or tacos, or serve as an appetizer or healthy snack with tortilla chips and veggies.
Savory Date & Pistachio Bites
A touch of sweetness from the dates and raisins paired with crunch and nuttiness from the pistachios make these bites perfect for an on-the-go snack or as an accompaniment on a cheese board.
Pressure-Cooker Hummus
Cooking chickpeas from scratch is the best way to make your own hummus, but it can take hours to soak and cook them yourself. Enter the pressure cooker. Even without an overnight soak, your beans can be done in less than an hour, making this the ultimate last-minute appetizer option.
Hard-Boiled Egg & Almonds
This small snack packs a nutrient punch–it’s loaded with protein, heart-healthy fats, vitamins and minerals to make eating healthy easy and yummy.
Everything-Seasoned Almonds
Grinding up the everything bagel seasoning in a spice grinder will help it adhere to the almonds.

Perk up your popcorn with a bit of lemon pepper and Parmesan cheese.
Rosemary-Garlic Pecans
These savory spiced nuts are perfect for snacking, adding to a cheese board or serving as a mini appetizer.
Soy Sauce Eggs
