Chunky Greek Hummus Plate-Secret Recipe Club

My first recipe post in a while (see yesterday's post for why) and it's for Secret Recipe Club reveal day!  This month I was assigned Linday's blog, The Lean Green Bean.  Not only does her website have fun recipes, healthy ones at that (she studying to be a Registered Dietitian) but also inspirational workouts and fitness information.


I chose Lindsay's recipe for Chunky Greek Hummus Plate, a recipe from one of Lindsay and her husband's favorite restaurants.  I love hummus and I love Greek salad so this was an easy recipe to get excited about.  It was also easy to throw together on the road, using prepared ingredients.  I will definitely do it again making my own hummus and Greek salad!  


Time: 5 minutes (using prepared ingredients)
Serves: 4 for an appetizer


Ingredients:

• 1 cup prepared hummus
• 1 cup finely chopped Greek salad ingredients
• Sprinkles of feta cheese, or (as I used) a tzatziki/feta dip)
• Chips or veggies for serving (I used pretzel chips)

Method:

• Spread hummus on plate.
• Top with chopped Greek salad and feta (or sauce).
• Serve with chips of your choice.

Thanks Lindsay for a fun appetizer!

Recipe for Black Eyed Pea Hummus

There’s the old superstition about eating black eyed peas on New Year’s Day to bring you good luck.  I don’t really buy into it but was intrigued by this recipe on Kalyn’s Kitchen for a hummus (which I love) made with black eyed peas so I thought I’d give it a try.  It was AMAZING!  Don’t wait for New Year’s to give this tasty and healthy recipe a try.

Veggie and Hummus Sammys

Perhaps like yourself, I am trying to reign in my holiday eating and get back on track with healthy eating most of the time and only occasional treats (unlike what the past month or so has been).  I don't know what it is about the New Year that compels us to "start", but this past weekend on NY's day I got my head organized around how I am going to eat and some attainable short and long term goals for healthy eating, which will translate into a few pounds lost over the near term.
