Red Lentil Hummus Dip from Food By Maria
Who doesn’t love a good platter of vegetables, crackers, nuts, and dips? This is the perfect dip to make for a crowd and it only takes a few ingredients to make. The magical addition of red lentils provides a healthy dose of fiber and plant-based protein which will help stabilize blood sugar and keep your digestion in check.

This dip is sure to bring both major flavour and a fresh feeling from the gorgeous colour. It’s perfectly sweet from the green peas and packs a punch of plant-based protein with the hemp seeds. Pair it with crackers, put it on a sandwich, or enjoy it on its own.
Vegan Cheese Sauce from Oh She Glows
This dairy free cheese sauce not only tastes amazing but can be added to any of your favourite dishes that call for cheese. It’s silky, decadent, and will jazz up any roasted or steamed veggies.
Black Bean Dip from Food By Maria
This black bean dip is super easy and so delicious! The best part? You won’t feel bad for double dipping your chips or crudités. If you’re not a fan of black beans, just switch them up for kidney beans or chickpeas. Get creative and enjoy!
Spinach Artichoke Dip from Fraiche Nutrition
A go-to appetizer for parties, this creamy and indulgent spinach artichoke dip is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It’s high in fiber thanks to the spinach and artichokes and perfectly creamy from the parmesan and cream cheese.

Mint Basil Guacamole from It’s To Die For
Guacamole is hard to mess up and this dish is a perfect twist on the traditional recipe. Avocados are also the ultimate health food with 20 vitamins and minerals, and more potassium than a banana. We’re crazy about this chunky, flavourful recipe.
Vegan Basil Kale Pesto from Gluten Freedom Inc
Have fresh basil on hand? Whip up this allergen friendly pesto! The nutritional yeast gives it that cheesy flavour, while the hemp hearts make it creamy and add a boost of protein. Enjoy it with pasta, in stir fries or with veggies and crackers at all of your summer parties.
