Hi Everyone!
Hummus is one of those condiments that once you start – it’s really hard to stop. It’s so creamy, rich and delicious that honestly, that let’s be honest….the cracker is just the vehicle allowing us to scarf down more hummus – amiright??
It’s a Yummy Whole-Foods, Plant-Based Condiment!
Easy to make & super versatile
Hummus is so versatile. Spread it over cold crispy veggies like red bell pepper, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower….or your favorite crackers as a quick snack or appetizer.
For lunch, slather it onto a piece of seeded toast and top with roasted veggies, grilled onion, avocado and fresh basil for a decadent, filling lunch or casual dinner!
The truth is – hummus is really easy to make. All you need is a blender, 6-ingredients and 5-minutes.
5-Minutes, 6-Ingredients & a Blender is all you need!
Why it’s good for ya
Basic hummus consists of Chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil & kosher salt. The combination nets a rich source of Vitamins, Minerals, Fiber, Protein & Healthy Fats.
Of course you can easily buy it in the store – and honestly, that’s what I usually do. That being said it’s much more flavorful and packs more of a garlicky punch, when you make it yourself.
I was feeling extra ambitious, clearly 😉
