Summer is the perfect time to pack a picnic basket and head to the park or beach for some great family time!  Libby’s Fruits and Vegetables were kind enough to send us this adorable Insulated Picnic Basket and Picnic Blanket Tote, as well as fruits and vegetables to make a yummy recipe to pack up!

We made Smoky Carrot Hummus Sandwich Spread, which was SO tasty on our sandwiches.  It also made a great dip for chips and veges.  Cut up some red peppers and dip away!

Recipe: Smoky Carrot Hummus Sandwich Spread
Makes 2 ¼ cups

Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) cans Libby’s® Sliced Carrots drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Libby’s® Organic Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or curry powder) ½ teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. In a food processor, blend together carrots, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic cloves, paprika, cumin and pepper. While processor is running, slowly pour in olive oil. Process until smooth.

2. To make a sandwich, spread 2 tablespoons of carrot hummus on one slice of whole grain bread of your choice. Top with avocado, tomato, turkey or your favorite sandwich fillings. Top with another piece of whole grain bread.

3.  Keep remaining spread in sealed container for up to 10 days in refrigerator.

It’s time for you to pack up your OWN picnic basket this summer and enjoy some time outside with the family!

    I would love to win because in SCV we have the best concerts in the park during the summer where we bring a picnic dinner. If you don’t know our area, it is extremely hot and could use a place to put food and keep it cool.
