Medjool Date

This gluten-free Shrimp Pad Thai gives the Thai classic dish a low-carb makeover using spiralized cucumbers and carrots for the noodles.

This version of the Syrian roasted red pepper dip is sweetened with a date to avoid refined sugars. Urban suggests it as a snack for your next book club night, but we also love it as a topper for a piled-high bowl.

This dreamy dessert uses the magic of cashews to replicate the taste and richness of cream cheese. You’ll end up with extra Date Caramel Sauce to serve on the side, or keep for another use (such as with pancakes the next day).

Avocado takes a walk on the sweet side as the star ingredient in this rich and creamy twist on a key lime pie.

Dark sweet cherries, frozen bananas and dark chocolate combine to create a luscious, rich dairy-free dessert.

Pungent blue cheese balances out the sweetness of dates in this meal-worthy salad made with a combination of baby spinach and arugula.
