A few days ago I told you how these days I prefer easy recipes that don’t require much cooking, and I wasn’t joking! Not only is this recipe really easy to make but it involves two of my favorite things: hummus and cherry tomatoes. It’s great for an appetizer or to bring to a party, but I like to eat it for lunch!
Cherry tomatoes seem to be on sale every time I go to the store lately and I’ve been buying them up like crazy. They’re great for salads, roasting and snacking on. Next week I’m sharing a recipe for one of my favorite things to do with them: make cherry tomato jam, so stay tuned!
The weather is finally getting really hot here and we are kicking ourselves for not buying a house with a pool. Thank goodness for AC and cold showers! I hope you all are staying cool and having a great week so far!

Roasted Garlic Hummus Bruschetta
Ingredients
- Bread, you could use whatever kind of bread you like. I used a baguette.
Bruschetta:
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8–10 basil leaves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Roasted Garlic Hummus:
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained with juice reserved
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 5–7 cloves roasted garlic
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Chop the cherry tomatoes and add them to a medium sized bowl. Add the remaining bruschetta ingredients and mix until combined. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add all of the hummus ingredients to a food processor and turn on. Slowly pour in the reserved chickpea juice until desired consistency and texture is achieved.
- Toast the bread, if desired, and then spread with hummus and top with bruschetta.

This is the perfect simple appetizer! That roasted garlic hummus sounds amazing!
Heck yes, I’m so down for food that requires minimal cooking and a short amount of time. This bruschetta looks absolutely fabulous! Nourishing and flavorful!
Thanks, Julia! I’ve decided that if I want complicated food I will go out to eat so I don’t have to make it š
Roasted garlic is my EVERYTHING! That hummus sounds so good I could devour it on it’s own, but I love how gorgeous your tomatoes look. Off to track down some heirlooms to whip this up š
Mine too, Rachel! I recently found out I can buy it already roasted on the olive bar and I’ve been buying it like crazy!
This should make those hot days a bit more bearable. Oooh that heat. I can’t stand it… so yes, cold showers and cold food is the way to go! I’m so excited about Summer produce, but you know, ours is always later than most of the country. I checked on the strawberries last week and they just started flowering. It’ll be June, I’m pretty sure, by the time the locals come. Same with tomatoes…. but I grabbed some at the store last week from AZ!! I just couldn’t wait! They are so tasty. I love how simple this recipe is, but oh so satisfying! Stay cool sweets!
I can’t stand it either and it’s starting to get almost unbearable here š That’s funny, Arizona seems to have all the produce so early, must be those hot temps š Thanks so much, Traci!!
GIMMIE!! GIMMIE! YUMMMM! š
Haha š
Gah this is so my kind of lunch!! Or quick dinner! I love those pretty tomatoes! And now I need to find some lunch for myself… haha
I could totally eat this for dinner too! I’m obsessed with all the different colored tomatoes you can buy these days š
This is my kind of dish!! I love how simple this is!
Thanks, Annie! Simple is best, especially when it includes hummus š
Beautiful pics, as usual! XO
Thanks, Sho!! š
