Category: Sauces, Spreads, & Dips

Need a sneaky way to boost leafy greens intake? Make tasty spreads out of them! This spread can be used as a pesto for pizza, a dip for veggies, or add a bit of water to make it into a sauce for grain bowls. Not only is it tasty, but it’s also packed with nutrition from the cashews, spinach, herbs, and spices!

Cooked sweet potato lends a little creaminess and sweetness to this hummus-like dip. The lime juice lends a fresh tang, and there’s just enough chili powder and cinnamon to give it flavor without too much kiddo-offending spice!

This sauce is so good, it’s almost drinkable (we won’t judge if you do)! Add a little more water than what’s listed in the recipe for a delicious salad dressing or leave it as is for a flavorful sauce that’s yummy on top of grain bowls, sweet potatoes or as a dip for veggies. The nutty taste of tahini combined with lemon and cumin makes for the perfect blend!

This healthy homemade dressing is slightly thick, thanks to the inclusion of tahini. Orange and lemon juice bring a bright freshness that works so well with the tahini. Just delicious!

Making homemade cheese might feel a bit intimidating. However, it’s very simple once you soak the nuts! The addition of probiotic-rich miso gives it the delicious umami flavor while herbs and spices give it a pop of flavor. This cheese contains zinc from the cashews, B-vitamins from the miso and lots of anti-inflammatory compounds through the spices.

Greens to the rescue! Or at least that’s how we see this superfood homemade salad dressing. Spinach and avocado make a powerhouse duo, not only providing a vibrant and rich green color but loads of plant nutrients, too. Enjoy this dressing as a creamy dip or drizzled on top of your favorite salad or grains bowl.

Enjoy this creamy red pepper hummus on organic, whole-wheat pita bread, or serve it as a dip with vegetables. It can even make for a thick, yummy salad dressing, too!
