This hummus* is inspired by all things yellow and green. Also, by my love of spicy food and Mexican-inspired flavors (like avocado, cilantro, cumin, and lime). My dad raised me right on jalapeños and black pepper blanketing everything. Literally, a blanket of pepper. Thankfully, I’ve also persuaded John to jump on the spice train. At this point it’s an all out competition to see who can win the spice off war. Somehow, John’s winning. Hopefully this hummus puts me back in the lead. *Note: You can learn more about hummus and its origins here. This recipe requires about 10 ingredients and 30 minutes start to finish. It begins with roasted jalapeños and garlic cloves. Then, simply add all your other basic hummus ingredients like lemon (and lime!), salt, pepper, tahini and a few additional spices and you’re in hummus heaven! I even threw in half an avocado for even more creaminess and nutrients. Tasty nutrients for the win. This humus is my new go-to! It’s: Super creamySavorySpicyMega healthySatisfying& Seriously delicious An optional step is to roast up some pumpkin seeds with cumin and sea salt for an extra crunchy bite. This also makes you look super fancy, so it’s kind of a win-win. If you make this recipe, let us know!
