I love hummus. It is so easy to make. And quick too. I usually make a very basic hummus recipe most weeks and it makes me so very happy, but, when I saw the Noshtopia recipe for Peppadew and Edamame Hummus, I knew I had to try it when I read it had a cheesy flavor. At that point, dressed-up hummus was less interesting than replicating cheesiness – it’s been over 6 months since I have eaten any cheese, and I sorely miss it. I do not like pickles but I figured I would make the exception once, and this hummus was really very tasty and definitely provided a cheesy experience, particularly when part of a sandwich with lots of arugula {I used Food for Life brown rice flour bread for this sandwich, but I imagine it would be lovely on a nice sourdough or even a baguette}. To make this recipe, I used a batch of my basic hummus recipe, but you could also use already prepared hummus from the store.
Also, I strongly encourage you to check out Noshtopia, which is a fabulous food blog about making healthier eating fun and realistic. Noshtopia also has a lovely little sister, Noshtopia Iphone Food Pics, which is a micro-blog of great food pics, including some guilty pleasures.
P.S. I think I am going to move from my What’s Cooking Wednesday recipe format to City Girl Eats – it could be a recipe, but also a review of a food item, or tea, or food website. You get the idea. As with all blog categories and switches, I am still trying things out, but I like that City Girl Eats is more chatty, which is how my blog is leaning these days.

This looks amazing. I need to go back, but are you cutting out dairy and gluten, or are you just sticking with plants? How fun. I love making hummus too, and am starting to get creative with sundried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts. Yum!
Hi SallieAnne – I need to post an update. I went on this really restricted diet back in June which was an elimination diet to figure out food allergies, but also for other health reasons. It's been a long long long process (longer than if it was just straight food allergy elimination). I am still on the same food plan to some degree.
Love the idea of City Girl Eats – much broader than just "What's Cooking"! Can't wait to see what's on this Wednesday!
aww! Now you're making me blush đŸ˜€ Thank you for those very kind words, and I'm glad that you liked the hummus. When I had hard core vegans tell me they thought the hummus tasted cheesey, I thought I scored a touchdown. Even did a little dance lol! It's amazing what peppadews add.
Happy New Year!
yum!! i like the idea of city girl eats. that way you can have fun with it and post about different things.
hugs!!
This photos is making me hungry
Oooh, sounds delish! And seriously, 6 months without cheese? Your willpower is incredible.
Oh wow that sounds delicious. I love humus and edamame. Thank you for the link to Noshtopia!
This sandwich looks so good! I must try making it!
I see that you can't eat sugar/chocolate. I borrowed a book from the library the other day called "Sugar-free gluten-free baking and desserts : recipes for healthy and delicious cookies, cakes, muffins, scones, pies, puddings, breads and pizzas
by Keough, Kelly E."
I think it may help you and you may find some success in this recipe book, I did!
