In September of 2009 I saw this recipe on Making Dough and thought I would have to try it sometime. I didn't realize "sometime" would be almost a year later!

I happened to have almost all the ingredients on Friday night and like it has been lately, the house was too hot to cook. I made a big batch for my husband and I. Together we ate the WHOLE BOWL!

It was so good and perfectly refreshing for a hot summer night. I am thinking of making it again this weekend and adding fresh pineapple. The great thing about this recipe is you can really experiment with anything that sounds good to you.

Perfect side dish, appetizer or if you are like us, a main dish!

This little appetizer is so easy to put together and looks like you got it from somewhere fancy. I also like it because it is very light and refreshing. Pick a cool platter and you are set.

Red, Orange, and Yellow Peppers
Hummus
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Cucumbers
Rice Crackers

Chop the peppers into bite size square or rectangle pieces then set aside. Slice cucumber into bite size round pieces and set aside. Fill a zip lock bag with hummus and cut one of the bottom corners off of the bag to create a tip. Pipe the hummus onto some of the crackers and cucumbers. Top hummus with a piece of pepper.

On the remaining crackers and cucumbers pipe the spinach artichoke dip on just like you did with the hummus.

There is really no way to go wrong with this and you could easily use other toppers and other bases. The possibilities are endless!
