Ingredients
  • 10 ounces hummus traditional flavor
  • 10 black olives halved
  • 10 cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1/2 cucumber ucumber small diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 Tablespoon reduced fat feta cheese crumbled

Servings: servings
Units:
Instructions
  1. To toast pine nuts: Add pine nuts to a skillet (do not add oil) over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pine nuts are toasted when slightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Evenly cover the surface of a flat serving dish with the hummus. We recommend using the back of a spoon to create a decorative scalloped effect.
  3. Over the top of the hummus, evenly spread the black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and pine nuts.
  4. Sprinkle the parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika evenly over the top.
  5. Divide evenly into 6 servings and serve with your favorite “dipper.” We recommend bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli!

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 heads of garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper fresh cracked
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese
Servings: 1/4 cup servings
Units:
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 3 squares of aluminum foil.
  2. Cut the tops off the garlic heads from the papery pointed end, and cut enough to expose the tops of the garlic cloves, about ½ an inch.
  3. Place each cut garlic clove inside the aluminum foil square and begin to bunch up the foil to create a casing for the cloves. On each head, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Combine the pepper and rosemary and sprinkle the spices evenly over the 3 garlic heads.
  4. Close the foil to create a packet and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
  5. Remove garlic heads from the oven and open the foil packets, let cool just enough to handle.
  6. On a cutting board or in a bowl, squeeze all of the garlic cloves out of their roasted casings and mash with a fork to create a rough paste.
  7. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, the gorgonzola cheese, and the garlic, and combine well. Use a blender, food processor or hand blender if a smoother texture is preferred.
  8. Serve with fresh-cut vegetables such as bell pepper slices, celery, carrots, pita chips, or similar*.
