Hummus is all the rage right now. Me, I’m still learning to like it. I really want to like it, I just haven’t made or had one yet that I’ve enjoyed. Until now. When I saw this recipe I knew it was really the only shot hummus and I had. I couldn’t keep trying something and wasting tons of chickpeas in the process. I also figured this would possibly work on my daughter as well.
This is such a great treat that has a nice hint of sweet, but isn’t overwhelming. It’s also high in fiber and low in calories. Who doesn’t like that? This would make a perfect appetizer for Thanksgiving if you are still looking for something. You wouldn’t sacrifice flavor and you’d sneak a little healthy in there while you’re at it!
