When your girlfriend who you haven’t seen in a minute sends a photo via text of her backyard garden bounty with the caption, “Would you like any of these?”And the “these” are fresh jalapeños, tomatoes and lettuce you cant help but say, yes! Honestly, I will always be more excited to spend more time with her but all the better when she wants to share the fruits of her labor. We all need friends like that, friends who know what we love and what we will appreciate.
A large brown bag held 7 beautiful jalapeño peppers and a plastic bag with ripe and warmed by the sun tomatoes and lettuce. My hubster is a pepper addict, spice lover and heat seeker so I instantly handed the brown bag to him and he started in on them like candy. No thanks! I asked her what she made with them and she listed off many great ideas then said she sometimes puts them in hummus. Of course, you can omit the jalapeños from the recipe below and use a more mild pepper like a serrano or green bell pepper but I think you should go with the roasted jalapeño pepper hummus. The lettuce cups are a great balance of low carb, high fiber and high protein. Perfect for lunch time.
