No Cook Hummus Dip

Good morning! It was impossible for me to get out of bed this morning, I could sleep all day when it rains.

My friend Jessica made this hummus dip for Valentines Day. I liked it so much that I made it last weekend for my friends Bachelorette Party. It’s super easy to make and you don’t even have to cook anything. The presentation was all me :)

No Cook Hummus Dip


Ingredients:
(from Trader Joe’s, of course)
1 large container of Trader Joe’s Hummus
1 container of reduced fat feta cheese crumbles
1 cucumber peeled & sliced into rounds
1 ripe tomato sliced
1/2 red onion chopped

Directions:
Spread the hummus onto a serving plate or baking dish
Top with the entire container of crumbled feta cheese
Layer the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion however you like over the hummus and feta.
*you can also chop the veggies and sprinkle them over the dip. 

I arranged the veggies based on the shape of my baking dish.


VoilĂ !

If you choose to make this dip, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen. You can easily wow your guests with a beautiful presentation. No one will ever know it only took you 10 minutes to prepare.

Have a great day!

egg white veggie skillet over cheesy potatoesso bad and good at the same time
Rico got the breakfast salad granola, fresh berries, vanilla and strawberry yogurt, topped with sliced apples… what I should have ordered
Lazy Thursday Kitchen Creation: Homemade hummus! Inspired by Jessica’s blog (again) I made her peanut butter hummus with a chili kick and some other Newtritionista edits. It sounds gross but after making it, the peanut butter gives the hummus a unique, non over-powering flavor.
Laur’s peanut butter and chili hummus

  • 1 15-oz can of organic chick peas
  • 1 BIG tbsp of peanut butter
  • 1 cup of light olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of pepper
  • 1 tsp of chili powder
  • 1 tbsp of finely chopped garlic

Add chickpeas to food processor until finely ground. Add peanut butter, garlic, spices and mix again. Stream in olive oil through the top while the food processor is on. Once the hummus is at your desired consistency serve with fresh veggies or whole wheat pita and enjoy!How do you spend your lazy days?
