Delicious Summer Hummus Recipe – {Giveaway}

by 88 Comments

I feel like summer just started and yet we only have 4 weeks left of summer fun. The girls start back school the second week of August. If I think about this too much, the tears will start streaming down my face. Our summer schedule is going so well, that I do not want to give up the schedule. Every moment is being savored. Our family has done so many great adventures this summer, but the moments I have really enjoyed are our family picnics. A picnic is so much fun and includes lots of family laughs. My girls can make me laugh so hard.

For example, check out this joke that L came up with:

Why did the drink cross the road?

Because he drunk.

As corny as that joke was, I could not stop laughing. The way she said it just had me rolling.

During our picnics, we love to eat pretzels and hummus. Libby’s Fruits & Vegetables sent me this summer hummus recipe. You have to try it out.

Smoky Carrot Hummus Sandwich Spread

Makes 2 ¼ cups

Get out of your mayo and mustard rut with this flavorful and healthy sandwich topper.

Ingredients:

1 (15 ounce) cans Libby’s® Sliced Carrots drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Libby’s® Organic Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or curry powder)
½ teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

In a food processor, blend together carrots, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic cloves, paprika, cumin and pepper. While processor is running, slowly pour in olive oil. Process until smooth.

To make a sandwich, spread 2 tablespoons of carrot hummus on one slice of whole grain bread of your choice. Top with avocado, tomato, turkey or your favorite sandwich fillings. Top with another piece of whole grain bread.

Keep remaining spread in sealed container for up to 10 days in refrigerator.

Hummus is so healthy for you. We really enjoy it on wheat thins too!

  26. While we like to grill in the back yard – we often TAKE picnics down to the beach/lake to relax, maybe take a swim and then have dinner and watch the Sunset. So we can’t cook/make dinner at the beach – we have to bring it (preferably/hopefully) in your wonderful, prize = PICNIC BASKET!

    So what we usually bring for our picnic dinners is something like a loaf of French or Italian Bread, some crudite /raw veggies and some cheese or a dip/spread like Hummus, Baba Gannoush, Spinach or Spinach Artichoke dips and a hearty pasta, rice, whole grain or bean salad with lots of veggies and some protein but NO MAYO.;
    Oh and of course some fruit and lots of water, iced tea or lemonade.

    Great prize. Thanks!
