1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper

1 cup
Serving size 1 T- 0 points


JeanCat, this is not like hummus, its not smooth,sorta chunky, i think that's why the suggest the things to serve it with. I did use it with some All Bran Crackers and later spread it over a low carb tortilla, that tasted good.Not sure if it tasted better cause it had sat and all the flavors blended together.

Akus this Sounds yummy!
But I have to say I have only seen the roasted peppers in an oil base. Is this what you use and then drain? or is ther a water//vinegar base out there with less points?

Wonderful suggestion on celery or cucumber rounds for less points!

Can be spruced up with seasonings that are salt free! But I am sure it is great just the way it is!

Yum...

JeanCat

They are not oiled-based thats for sure, i get mine where they sell the pickles and relishes in the store. But if all you can find is oil-based, drain em and run them under water.

That sounds so great especially the spreading on WW tortilla (whole wheat). Recipe noted. THANKS

Thanks Akus I will look for it.

I have used ortega diced green chiles and FF cream chese. But for some reason it does not like to mix well. So I have spread the cheese then topped what ever wwith the chiles. I am thinking of using my Bullet to mix.

Got any other spreads?
You are a wealth of info Akus!

Grilled Halibut
Greek Vegetable Salad
Coleslaw..


Sometimes i even amaze myself, i enjoyed every bite, the Halibut was awesome, all i used was ICBINB and some fresh lemon.
The Greek Veggie salad had cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce,feta cheese and kalamata olives with ff balsamic vinaigrette.
The coleslaw was just some mayo mixed with some red wine vinegar to give it that little zip.


It just all tasted soooooooooooooooo good.

Dinner today:
Kids last day of school
Something simple.
Tuna burgers, corn on the cob, baked fries

I LOVE making salmon spread! I use the FF Cream Cheese for this. Been putting it on Light Thomas Eng muffins since Feb.

All of your recipes sound delish.

I LOVE cooked salmon! I place it on a pam coated fry pan and sprinkle dill and 21 Salute (no salt seasoning) with garlic powder.about 3 - 5 minutes per side, use the pan like a grill.

I am going to try to make my own hummus. Will be in touch on that.

Thanks again!

I am on my way to Trader Joes for some fresh egg plant! A drizzel of EVOO herbs, garlic and marinade in a jar for about aa week. Then grind it up and use as a spread is much like the OLD World Italian spreads of yesterday. I am in process of converting many of my mom and dad's old recipes to WW friendly ones. I shared the marinated mushrooms already. Will post as I go along.
