My name is Isadora and I’m a hummus addict. Seriously, I could eat it by the tub and sometimes I do. In my defense, some of those hummus tubs are pretty small! While I do appreciate the traditional plain hummus flavor, I love experimenting with making my own hummus and adding all kinds of delicious flavors to it.
Last time I was at the store, I picked up a (very small) tub of sun-dried tomato and basil hummus. It was one of the best hummus flavors I have ever had and, to my husband’s dismay, I proceeded to eat the entire tub in about ten minutes time. Honestly, I just couldn’t help myself. I ate a few tablespoons with some crackers, told myself that was enough and put the rest in the refrigerator. Then, I went back for a few more scoops, and then a few more, and before I knew it the entire tub was gone. Please tell me I’m not the only one who devours an entire tubs of hummus in one sitting?!
That delicious sun-dried tomato and basil hummus was the inspiration behind this dish. I usually just eat my hummus with crackers, or in some cases by the spoonful, but I wanted to jazz things up a little today, so I decided to spread this creamy hummus over some flatbread and pile it high with healthy vegetables and some feta cheese, because feta makes everything better!

November 5, 2014 at 9:20 amI love the tang that sun-dried tomatoes add to hummus and this idea of a Greek/Mediterranean flatbread of sorts is such a great idea, Izzy. The link to your recipe is not working for me though.

November 6, 2014 at 3:12 amThanks Katie, the link should be working now! I accidentally published it too early, oops! I love sun-dried tomatoes too! For some reason I don’t eat them nearly as much as I should!
Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies says
November 5, 2014 at 12:39 pmThat looks gooooood. If they didn’t want me to eat the whole container of hummus in one sitting, they should either make way larger containers or stop making it so delicious!

November 6, 2014 at 2:51 amThank you Nicole!! There is something so addicting about hummus! My husband just came home with a tub this evening and I ate half of it while cooking dinner!

November 6, 2014 at 10:24 amWhat, you mean those tubs aren’t meant to be finished in one sitting??? 😉 Hehe, I totally have that problem too, I am obsessed with hummus and this sun-dried tomato basil version sounds deeelicious! I could easily polish off the entire batch 🙂
She Likes Food says
November 10, 2014 at 4:15 amHaha, I really think they must just be one serving! I don’t think I know anyone who can’t polish off one of those little containers by themselves! Thank you Kelly! It was so hard for me to not eat this entire thing in one sitting, but the bread did help with slowing me down 🙂

November 6, 2014 at 1:08 pmWeellll, I haven’t been the biggest hummus fan in the past (don’t hate me, I still love sweet potatoes =) But I need to give it another chance, not the peeling off the skin of the chickpeas chance, but the sun-dried/basil chance. Those 2 ingredients just make my mouth so happy. As does flatbread which I usually order from T.G.I. Fridays, Ha. Would love to make my own, plus I know hummus is good for you and filling, especially if you eat the whole tub, hehe.

November 10, 2014 at 4:18 amAs long as you still like sweet potatoes, I guess we can still be friends, haha!! What about sweet potato hummus?!! You really should give it another chance! But definitely no peeling chickpeas, that is the worst! It really is crazy how easy homemade hummus is to make and you can add all kinds of your favorite flavors 🙂 Sun-dried tomatoes and basil make my house happy too!

November 6, 2014 at 4:30 pmMaybe we should join HA (Hummus Anonymous) because I’m a huge addict, too! I go through hummus like crazy and generally eat half the tub in one sitting, it’s just too good. But I tell myself since it’s healthier, it’s not too bad, right?! 🙂 This flat bread looks amazing! I love the toppings of sun dried tomatoes and hummus spread. Perfection!
She Likes Food says
November 10, 2014 at 4:19 amYes, I think we need to start this HA group asap! Except I kinda want to eat hummus all day everyday and never stop! It is healthy, so I guess we shouldn’t feel too bad about ourselves, at least that is what I tell myself, haha! Thank you, Gayle 🙂

November 7, 2014 at 6:39 amI love flavouring up my hummus! Chipotles is one of my favourite things to toss in, but I bet sun dried tomatoes packs a good flavour punch too. Gonna have to try that! I just gave a hummus obsessed friend a food processor for her birthday so she could make her own, so I’m going to send her this recipe too!
She Likes Food says
November 10, 2014 at 4:23 amMe too, Katie! I still love the plain kind, but it is amazing how many awesome flavors you can make! Ohhh, I’ve never tried using chipotles in my hummus before, but I see that happening very soon! All you need is a food processor and some chickpeas and you are golden 🙂 Thanks so much for sending her this recipe!

November 8, 2014 at 5:15 amHoly hummus among us! This flatbread looks lip smackin’ good, Izzy! You had me hooked at sun-dried tomato and basil. That flavor, combined with already magically delicious hummus, is why I won’t be able to go to an unwanted gathering on Monday. It’s been decided. Instead of calling in sick, lets call in preoccupied(with eating this entire flatbread by ourselves because it’s basically just beans and veggies right?)!

November 10, 2014 at 4:28 amDulcie!! Hi! It is one of my favorite flavor combos too! Haha, I think I want to call into work as being “preoccupied” with eating hummus flatbread all day! That sounds like a perfect idea 🙂 You can’t go wrong with beans and veggies!

November 8, 2014 at 4:44 pmYou are definitely not the only one to eat a whole tub of hummus – and yes, we can blame the fact that most tubs are just too small 🙂 I am a huge hummus fan and love making it from scratch, too. It’s so easy with a food processor, and fun to experiment with new flavors. I bet this version with sun-dried tomatoes is so flavorful – and the idea of topping it with veggies on flatbread is genius! I can’t wait to try it out!
She Likes Food says
November 10, 2014 at 4:31 amThey really are too small! And I think they make the serving size too small too 🙂 I like the hummus flatbread because the bread part fills me up and there is less of a chance that I will eat the whole thing in one sitting! It is my way at spacing out the hummus eating 🙂
Helen @ Scrummy Lane says
November 8, 2014 at 5:46 pmOh, Isadora … yummy!! I could definitely eat a whole tub of hummus to myself, but if I follow your recipe and make my own I can eat even more! I love the sound of piling all those other gorgeous ingredients on top, too!
