- In a blender make the green goddess sauce by combining hummus, cooked chickpeas, parsley, mint, dill, spinach, lemon zest + juice, garlic, maple syrup and oil. Blend together until smooth and creamy and add more oil or water if necessary. Set aside.

Add in Vegenaise, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic and onion powder, maple syrup, salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together until all of the broccoli is fully coded in the creamy sauce. Set this aside.
- Make sure to clean out the food processor to make the whipped feta and add into the food processor Dairy-Free Feta Crumbles, Dairy-Free Cream Cheese, lime juice, and process everything together until it forms a smooth and creamy whipped texture.
