This roasted red pepper hummus recipe was created without Tahini for those of you who asked me previously.
Let me just say THIS IS THE PERFECT PARTY DIP. It is creamy and yummy with just a little oomph.
But I couldn’t stop there. I had a EUREKA moment, a scathingly brilliant idea to craft the most Mediterranean dip ever.
I got Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and beautiful green beans, extra virgin olive oil, and warmed Naan bread for dipping.
This is how I built the ultimate summer gathering hors d’oeuvre that everyone will be asking about the next day.

And now some random thoughts by me to close this out…
Sometimes you just have to put the kids to bed early, and invite a couple of grown-ups over for a night of snacks, games, music, and laughter. Since we live way far outside of town, through the woods, beyond numerous coves, at the end of a peninsula almost in the ocean, and getting a babysitter is costly and never easy, we often opt to stay in, and have a mini party on our own turf. It’s always fun to host a house party!
This summer, I have big plans. I want to project a movie on the side of our old barn. I want to string up lights and have a piñata filled with wax lips. I want a makeshift dance floor where couples sway together under the moon and stars to Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn records. I want to sit beside the fire pit and toast marshmallows. I want to play charades and a silly guessing game called Snaps. I want to serve all my favorite foods and fizzy punch with sherbet in our big vintage punch bowl. I want to play croquet in the dark and catch fireflies like we did when we were kids. I want to laugh with my friends all night. And by “all night” I mean until 10:47, because I turn into a literal pumpkin at 11.
But alas bedtime is here.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe, and if you like dips you may want to check out our New England clam dip, and a favorite of just about everyone… The spinach artichoke bacon dip.

I like the seven layer dip for a party
My idea of a perfect party dip is my homemade hummus that is both sweet and tangy. It is served with a bowl of organic blue corn chips.
