Southwest Hummus
I have a bad habit of munching on snacks. If I am into my work or watching a movie I want something quick and fast. I don’t like taking the time to prepare something. Unfortunately that usually means I’m grabbing chips or something else that’s not that great for me.
I’ve learned that a great way to grab and go is to prepare my veggies and snacks as soon as I get home from the grocery store. I slice up the veggies and put them into a container so I can grab and go.
My husband and I love hummus. We’ve tried all different flavors and brands, but this home made recipe is still our favorite.
I had no idea hummus was so easy to make until I tried it. This tastes super fresh and we know exactly what is in it.
All you have to do is toss all the ingredients in the food processor and blend them. I told you it was super easy 😉
The hummus is best when chilled before serving. Our favorite things to eat with it are peppers and Almond Nut-Thins.

I am ADDICTED to hummus so this is a recipe that I know I am gonna love! Thanks you so much!
This looks like a really nice variation on hummus–thanks!
We really need to make our own hummus. We don’t care for store-bought,
I’ve decided to try my hand at hummus because the price in the store is getting out of control! I love your visual presentation, it makes the recipe seem simpler!
I love hummus because it is healthier than other dips/spreads and it has protein for lasting energy.
I’ve never made hummus. Maybe we will try to this weekend. 🙂
Wow I’ve made hummus quite a few times, and I can see that by added a few different ingredients, I can have this amazing hummus – I must try it asap!
my husband loves spicy and would love this!
I love to snack on hummus too! I’ll have to try your recipe!
I always buy storebought hummus. This looks like something we’d love to eat for a snack.
Hummus is one of our favorite snacks as well and making your own is so easy! Thanks for sharing another great recipe.
