Description
The friction from your blender or food processor will warm up the hummus, so I suggest refrigerating for an hour before serving, but its certainly edible right away. Serve with dipping vegetables, chips, pretzels, or toasted pita bread wedges…
Using this base recipe you can get creative with additional flavors. Try adding one of the following for a twist: avocado, artichoke, sun dried tomato, grated Parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, chipotle peppers, or try replacing the lemon juice for lime juice.
