From my creamy Hippy Pasta Salad and crunchy garden salad to protein-packed chicken salad, spinach dip, creamy cheese sauce, and a comforting fajita chicken pasta bake, these recipes are perfect for feeding a crowd while keeping things simple.

Serve it as a dip with pretzels, pita chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or even spread it on a rice cake for a quick, satisfying snack. It also doubles as a delicious topping—try it smothered over chicken for an easy dinner, or you can even stuff chicken breasts and bake.
