Hummus is a staple side in our house and until recently, I had no idea how easy it actually is to make it yourself! Anything that I can make it in a blender is a win, since it means quick preparation and easy clean up. This recipes is all of those things, and the resulting dip is a gorgeous pink hue that my toddler went crazy for (she literally ate almost a whole bowl with veggies).
A couple of ways that we like to eat hummus in our household:
- Spread on toast and topped with avocado or other veggies
- As a dip for raw or cooked vegetables (e.g. carrots, bell peppers, green beans)
- As a dip for crackers or pita chips
- As a sandwich spread
