Ingredients:

🫒For the Hummus Base:

¾ can (540 ml) chickpeas (reserve the rest)
3 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
Garlic powder, to taste
Salt & pepper, to taste

🫒For the Topping:

Remaining chickpeas (about ¼ can)
4 inches cucumber, diced
¼ bell pepper, diced
4–6 large olives, diced
¼ red onion, finely diced
Fresh or dried dill
Salt & pepper

These are from
3 tbsp Dill-infused olive oil
1½ tbsp Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar

Make the hummus:
Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Spread the base:
Spread hummus onto a plate or shallow bowl.
Prep the topping:

This is what I make when I want something fresh, easy, and feels a little fancy without actually trying.

Creamy hummus, crunchy veggies, and that dill olive oil and balsamic combo that pulls everything together.

Call it a dip, call it a girl dinner… either way, it doesn’t last long.

Smile Cookie Days are officially here at Tim Hortons until May 3, and it’s one of my favourite ways to support our community. For just $2, 100% of proceeds from each cookie go directly to local charities and programs.

I visited a location supporting Storehouse Society, an incredible organization that provides food, meals, and support to families, seniors, and individuals in need right here in our community. From food banks to community meals, they are doing meaningful work every single day.

Such a simple way to give back. Grab a Smile Cookie while you can — every one truly makes a difference.

Greek Yogurt Coleslaw
• 1 bag shredded cabbage (about 4 cups)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup green onions

Dressing:
• ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon (optional)
• ¾ tsp celery salt
1 tablespoon dried dill

This is the coleslaw I make when I want something fresh, easy, and not loaded with mayo. It’s creamy, comes together in minutes, and somehow always gets eaten.

Bread, dip, repeat. That’s the plan.

• 1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
