This flavorful, versatile hummus can be used as a dip, spread, or thinned out to use as a dressing!
Hummus is an excellent substitution for other less healthy toppings. A high protein, high fiber, whole food plant based way to add deliciousness to all sorts of meals and snacks.
Why Make Your Own:
So many store-bought tubs of hummus contain extra things a healthy body doesn't need like oil and added salt.
