Food for Hummus?

Question

Okay so i'm on this diet where I have to stay away from bread. At least for awhile. I'm also a vegetarian. I picked up some Hummus because it's wonderful and I don't know what to eat it with. So far I've used carrots, broccoli and cauliflower but do you have any other ideas? Remember NO BREAD

Answer 1

Pita. Oh crap, no bread. Ok, how about tortillas? Shoot, that's bread too. Um...pretzels? Damn, bread again!

Ok seriously, cucumbers and bell peppers are great with hummus. Can you eat potatoes? Because potato chips are good with it too. Make a veggie lettuce wrap with those veggies and hummus, maybe some feta cheese too.

Answer 3

Slices of eggplant, zucchini or cucumbers. Also, there are sprouted breads, bagels and wraps............if the reason you are supposed to stay away from bread is because of the flour then it should be okay for you to eat sprouted things.
Something I've never tried, but might be really good is a hummus omelet. Try it with some chunks of fresh tomato and cucumbers.

Just for the Record about Sprouted Breads, I'm not sure why you are supposed to stay away from bread, but my guess is 1. no flour 2. carbs. That is the only reason I suggested this type of bread which is completely different then standard bread - Please read:
Sprouting is the only way to release all of the vital nutrients stored in whole grains.* To unlock this dormant food energy, maximize nutrition and flavor, we add just the right amount of water to healthy whole organically grown grains which are already bursting with nutrients. Beneficial enzymes are activated which cause the grains to sprout and become a living food.

Food For Life breads, made from sprouted grains, are richer in protein and vitamins than bread baked from dry grains ground into flour.

the sprouting process not only significantly increases valuable nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, B-vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium but also causes a natural change that makes the protein and carbohydrates easier for the body to use. In fact, sprouts are lower in carbohydrates and calories than the grains from which they were sprouted.

Answer 4

How about portobello mushrooms? Or putting hummus on a salad would be good to, with a vinegar dressing to counteract the olive oil. You could also do layers of zucchini and summer squash with hummus.

I'm appalled at how many people suggested bread even though you clearly said NO BREAD.

Answer 5

Im not sure why, but my favorite thing with hummus lately has been cucumbers..its especially nice if you make your hummus slightly salty..Yum. Tomatoes are nice as well!! Really, you can do almost anything with hummus, and you don't need to do anything fancy or get crazy with recipes. I know you said you "picked up" some hummus, but why not make it yourself? Its as easy as garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon, olive oil, a tad bit of salt...and blend.

mm, hummus.

Answer 6

Cut seedless cucumbers into rounds and spread with the hummus (like lo carb crackers!) Also good with chopped up olives on top.

Answer 7

I Use nice crisp Romaine leaves in the place of bread. My hubby who is not allergic to gulten even loves it.

Answer 8

Can you eat corn chips or is that considered bread?

Answer 9

Cucumber and avocado are great to dip in it, as well as pretty much any veggie. I have also dipped deli turkey, or deli turkey wrapped with cheese in hummus.
you can make lettuce wraps with turkey, tomato, cheese, onion and put hummus in it.
Pesto is also low carb and fun to dip things in.
if your going low carb, there are lots of helpful websites, just type in low carb recipes in the Internet.

Answer 10

Rice crackers, for no bread...I prefer pita chips.
