Avocado and Hummus Toast: 2 Ways!

Avocado Toast with Chimichurri | HipFoodieMom.com

 

So, the summer is pretty much here and the school year is coming to an end. I can hardly believe it’s almost June?!  Where did the time go? Summer for us means sleeping in, relaxing a bit more but also keeping busy and entertaining the kids. We’re keeping it simple this summer and have just signed up for art classes and karate. I say, let them enjoy the summer. .  but this also means (for me) planning play dates, a big shopping trip to Michael’s (I am so not craftsy but I love this store because they have so much stuff you can get there for the kids activity-wise), the Farmer’s Market (my fave!), beautiful, gorgeous weather here in Washington and quicker meals.

 

With the kids home with me during the summer and keeping busy, I won’t have a lot of time to cook; mainly lunch. And, although they probably wouldn’t mind if I did, I’m not going to give them chicken nuggets everyday.  Ever since I discovered making homemade Chimichurri was so easy, I’ve been constantly making this and keeping some stocked away in my fridge. . .

 

For moments and easy snacks like this.

I absolutely love all of the delicious flavors going on here on this little toast. And if you have the chimichurri sauce on hand, you can whip this up in no time. And next time, I must try this because I also always have kale in my fridge too.

Don’t like avocados?  Or chimichurri sauce? Give this one a try. My girls would deconstruct their toasts but eat everything so I’ve learned to just give them toast with hummus and the cucumbers, carrots and sunflower nuts on the side. Hey, as long as they are eating it, it’s ok by me. So, if you are looking for a quick, light and healthy snack or meal, give this one a try!

 

I am currently obsessed with sunflower nuts. Can’t get enough of them. I think they are so delicious and add something unique to this extremely quick and easy snack or meal.

 

I hope you enjoy!

    I love chimichurri and I am so craving avocados but have a hard time finding them for whatever reason. This toast sounds so comforting and yet light and healthy.

    I can’t believe it’s June either. I am looking forward to summer so much. I hope it’s a nice and long one!

      hi Laura,
      Thank you so much! Where do you live? You should be able to find Hass avocados in your local grocery store. .

    Chimichurri on avocado and hummus toast is definitely a new way to try it Alice, and such an interesting combination! I still have some in my fridge, from some sliders I made and I had completely forgotten. I have frozen country bread, an avocado, all the necessary thing to make hummus (I always do) and some chimichurri. What a great lunch I will make for myself tomorrow!

    I love how simple and easy this is to throw together, Alice (simple and easy are my middle names) but it’s still a powerhouse flavour-wise. I should always have avocados handy so that I can make this!
