One of my absolute favorite things to eat is the hummus appetizer from Chama River Brewing Co. The other night I was having girlfriends over and decided to try to replicate it at home. It turned out so delicious and tasted just as good as Chama’s! I’m all about quick and easy so I used store-bought hummus (my FAVE is the Mediterranean hummus from Trader Joe’s!) but feel free to make your own! By just throwing in some Kalamata olives, goat or feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes it became a gourmet appetizer that everyone loved and it took 2 minutes to prepare. Adding some roasted garlic would be a delicious finishing touch…I may do that next time. To keep it low carb I served it with fresh endive spears and baby carrots. It would also be FANTASTIC with warm pita slices.
Enjoy!
