Sometimes when I am asked to bring an appetizer to a party or get together and I know I don’t have a lot time to cook; I opt for the following fake-out. I buy a nice brand of quality pre-made hummus and I dress it up. It’s super simple, it’s “semi-homemade” and people love it.
My Hummus “Accessories”
Add the following to 12 to 14 oz. of quality store bought hummus
1 stalk of celery finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
Handful of chopped fresh parsley
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Easy breezy! 
Do you have any healthy fake-out tips on “semi-homemade” dishes that you prepare? If you do, please share!
