Heya food luvahs!
How was your weekend? I hope everyone is good and had a restful weekend. I am feeling so much better this week.
So its summer! Well its been summer for a while. This means its time for sundresses and extreme heat and you may not feel like cooking or eating hot heavy meals. So today I'll share our Hummus Salad with you.
Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip made from cooked chick peas (channa). To our hummus we add chopped veggies and some toasted pita. You can use any vegetables you like. We used cucumbers, yellow bell pepper and olives and crumbled a little feta on top.
Here is the recipe for the Hummus,
Ingredients
2-3 garlic cloves
1 cup of canned chickpeas - drained
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp water
2tbsp Tahini (sesame paste- you can find this at Super Center in the Ethnic food aisle)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Pour all the ingredients into your food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste
When its done we scoop a little into each bowl and garnish with olive oil and paprika. Then arrange the veggies around it and serve with toasted pita.
I hope you guys give this a go! Its so delicious. Super healthy and filling. We have this as a meatless meal sometimes and we definitely do not miss the meat.
So off I go to make some yummies for our clients.
Have a scrumptious week!
Jo
