Today our Sunday Supper cooks are doing some Summer Chillin’ with recipes for food that is served cold.

This is right up my alley, because I often think things are better cold or at room temperature than warmed up.

Hummus dip is welcome at any get-together, avocados make friends anytime, and together they create a sublime summer dip. Set it out. Watch it disappear.

I’m not a huge hummus fan, though I have only tried it once or twice, but I LOVE Guacamole! This sounds like a really happy marriage between the two that might just be perfect as a dip! I also love your idea of making a rolled egg sandwich/wrap with it! Brilliant! HUGS

That wrap with the egg was the result of opening the fridge door, and those things just jumped out at me!
