hummus on a sourdough cracker
This post is part of Fight Back Fridays.
I love hummus. Whether it is a dip for crackers or crudites, a spread on a sandwich, or an accompaniment to falafel, it tastes so good. One day I came home from work and announced I was going to make some. I’d never made it before, but I’d become disenchanted with the store bought brands as they had a lot of highly processed ingredients in them.
I figured it couldn’t be hard to make hummus, and I was right. You just put the ingredients in a Cuisinart and let it do all of the work! The best thing about making it yourself is you can make any style or flavor of hummus you like. Add lemon juice, extra tahini, pine nuts, peppers, different spices, different kinds of beans – it is all up to you.
I served it on a sourdough cracker, but it would be a great dip for carrots or celery, or a spread on a sandwich, or a sauce for chicken. There are so many possibilities with this one.
This is what I did for the basic hummus recipe that you can use as a jumping off point for your favorite flavors.
