SOOO many YESSEESSSSSS to today’s recipe… just so many.
Clearly I am beyond excited about this little snack board. I’ve made it no secret that this summer has been all about good snacks for me…
…example one: summer garden guacamole
…example two: marinated cherry tomatoes with burrata
SIDE NOTE: I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the kitchen for honestly twelve hours straight filming some new, quick, but fun videos for you guys. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. I got to hang with my brother and his girlfriend, whom I don’t get to see very often. We made some really freaking delicious food and then topped the day off by making an awesome new drink ! A new bourbon cocktail is coming your way soon… just sayin!
Anyway, on Saturday we decided to make these marinated tomatoes with burrata on snapchat. I also hosted a fun giveaway! Everyone agreed, it’s safe to say that these tomatoes + burrata are one of our top five favorite recipes of the summer. So simple, so good… you NEED to make them asap…again, just sayin.
…example three: summer fruit plate
…example four: simple summer cheese board
…example five: crostini 6 ways
…example six: farmers market hummus
…example seven: Greek inspired antipasto platter
…example eight: the new crudite’ platter
I know, I know, that’s a crazy amount of appetizers and snacks, but I just cannot help it, snacks are the BEST! Today’s board though, oh my gosh, I am so PUMPED about it. It has hummus, AND cheese, AND fresh figs, AND tomatoes… basically all the best summer produce.
So excited!
Because I feel like we have a bit to talk about with this board, let’s just dive right into all the details, starting with the hummus. I don’t know if you know this or not, but I wasn’t always a hummus person. For the longest time, I just did not eat it. My parents never liked it, so in turn, it was just never something I cared to try, or make. Well, that all changed last year when I made this hummus board. Hummus quickly became a weekly thing for me. It’s now safe to say I am a little addicted.
Hello, hummus with pita chips, who could not love that?!?
Today’s hummus is verry summer inspired though. Roasted corn, charred jalapeños and topped with toasted seeds. So much flavor happening, and so perfect when scooped up with a salty pita chip or even some fresh, crunchy veggies! 🙂 YUMM.
But um, you guys! There’s more! We’re not talking just one dip, nope. We’re talking TWO, and the second dip involves cheese!
Oh my gosh, totally serious!
Everyone, say hello to honey whipped goat cheese…aka the most addicting dip in all the land… for real.
Obviously you need to be into goat cheese to enjoy this dip, but seeing as we have three goats, drink goat milk every single day, and are about to be blessed with anywhere from 3-8 new baby goats, it’s safe to say we love a little goat cheese at my house.
Best part?? It’s SO easy. Just add goat cheese, Greek yogurt and honey to a food processor and blend. DONE. Serve it up smeared on bread and topped with fruits and veggies. Perfect summer snack/appetizer…or maybe even a Monday night lite dinner?
Yes, totally thinking this Market Veggie Board with Roasted Corn Jalapeno Hummus + Honey Whipped Goat Cheese = dinner tonight. Who’s with me?

This hummus is insane!
Two people asked me for the recipe and it was literally scraped off of the plate by the end of the night. Worth every effort to make it even though peeling the chickpeas took me like 30 minutes lol. It is spicy, salty, hearty, and smooth. Really great.
The goat cheese did NOT work for me. I dont know if it was the type of goat cheese I bought or if I did something wrong, but it turned into a goopy slimy mess and it tasted really strange to me. I have a feeling I went wrong somewhere in the process. But the hummus is going into my arsenal of entertaining recipes. Its perfect.
Thank you so much Andrea!
Ahhhhh figs and hummus are my two BIGGEST obsessions!!

To say that that’s a beautiful board is an understatement..I love all that components on it! (Well except maybe for the goat cheese, I still have to learn to love it). That’s not just a good snack/appetizer but could be a meal on its own! I wish I’m your neighbor, Tieghan! I could learn a lot! (And eat a lot…well, that’s a given! ?)
Haha! Thanks so much Sheila! I am happy you loved this!
Hi Tieghan, this looks amazing! I am wondering where the Miso is in the Miso Corn Hummus? And can I assume that the corn is roasted on the grill as well, or maybe it’s left over corn from last night’s bbq? Thanks for the beautiful photos, it helps me to be inspired!
hi Jeanette!! Fixing the recipe now to include the miso, so sorry about that! Yes, the corn is grille don the BBQ or leftover from another meal. Please let me know if you have questions. Hope you love this and thank you!
