This recipe has three things that this simple city girl turned country girl loves, it’s…
- So simple
- So delicious
- So nutritious
I know that we can easily buy the small containers of hummus at the grocery store, which we do in a pinch. But with our larger family and our big appetites, the cost can add up and besides, it is much more fun to make our own at home.
Hummus is primarily made up of chickpeas and along with some other healthful ingredients, it makes a simple and healthy snack or side dip that offers an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Â It is also a good source of plant-based proteins and can help decrease inflammation. Â In addition, it helps support good digestion, supports bone health, and can offer a nice boost of energy.
It keeps well in the refrigerator. Whether served with fresh cut veggies, chips, homemade tortillas, or pita bread, this easy recipe makes for a delicious midday snack or even a light lunch. Do you have a favorite hummus recipe that you love to use?
