Sun Dried Tomato Relish with Hummus is what is on my plate today.
I wasn’t sure what to call the Sun-Dried Tomato concoction- so it’s a relish! Yep, a relish. If you have a better word please let me know! I get a brain fog trying to figure things out like this! It’s a 40’s thing…
Anyway, it’s a hot summer here in Colorado and as far as I know its been hot everywhere this summer around the country! Uggh, when its hot outside, I’m just not a big eater and find myself eating light. I needed to put something together for a party a few nights ago and with something simple and light on my mind, I made this Sun-Dried Tomato Relish with Hummus. Delish!
I had a ton of the sun-dried tomatoes in the fridge from the last post, so I used those for this recipe. If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes lying around… the store bought ones are just fine. Try to buy the un-seasoned varieties if possible! There are a lot of flavors going on already!
I hope you try this. Is fast to make, vegetarian, gluten free and just plain good. No guilt in eating this!
Enjoy!

our grand daughters wanted hummus and we made yours and like Lea Ann it’s our new go-to. I liked the lemon in it. Next time we’ll try the relish.
Relish works for me and I like everything in it. Talk about good timing, I bought the ingredients yesterday for Bev to make hummus today, so I print this out for her.
Oh yum! This looks wonderful. The perfect hot summer night supper.
Thanks for giving me a sampling of this relish/hummus. I think the hummus recipe is perfect. I’m removing the one I have in my database and replacing it with this one. And you can’t go wrong with the relish combo. I love sun dried tomatoes, olives, feta and parsley. Thanks for a great recipe Heather.
