I love making different sandwiches with my leftover hummus. This one was great on a hot summer night.
Ingredients:
- Grilled eggplant
- Grilled yellow onion
- Grilled pepper
- sliced tomato
- hummus
- feta cheese
I sliced up some local eggplant, a yellow onion, and a green pepper, tossed them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and threw them on the grill. When they were done, I stuffed them in a warm pita with tomato, some of my Roasted Garlic Sun-dried Tomato Hummus, and some feta cheese. Delicious.
Caprese Salad

I make this salad very often, and assume others do too. If not, get to the store, buy some fresh buffalo mozzarella (not the fake stuff that shreds easily), basil, and tomatoes. Or, better yet, go to your garden and pick some tomatoes and basil. I bought yellow and red tomatoes from the farmers market.
This salad tastes best when you are actually in Italy. However, real buffalo mozzarella cheese is widely available in US supermarkets, so we can make a pretty good knock-off.
Easiest directions ever: Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Break up or coarsely chop the basil leaves. Layer everything into a pretty pattern. Drizzle with olive oil. Add some freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy.
Not Your Average Tuna Melt

Take a few extra minutes and make a great tuna melt, rather than some average quick fix that tuna melts tend to be.
Saute 1/2 yellow onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil until tender and starting to brown. Chop a tomato, and in a bowl, mix the tomato, onion, one can of drained tuna, a squeeze of dijon mustard, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and some fresh ground pepper.
Slice some good, crusty, bakery-fresh bread. Broil the sliced bread for a couple minutes. Remove it from the oven, flip them over, and top with the tuna mixture. Broil 3-5 minutes or so until all of the cheese is melted. Enjoy.
Peach Salsa
Nothing tastes better in the summer than fresh peach salsa.
Chop the following ingredients:
- 5 peaches, peeled
- 1 large tomato
- 1 green pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper (less if you don’t like much spice)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
Combine and mix well. Add freshly grated black pepper, a pinch of salt, and the juice of 1/2 lime.
Allow it to marinate a few hours before serving. Enjoy within a couple days.
