This simple, basil-spiked �green� hummus is a great summer twist on everyone�s favorite spread. While making your own hummus is quite simple, as you�ll see, I completely understand why people don�t. Those big, ready-to-serve tubs at the grocery store are tempting when you�re party shopping and short on time.
But, if you do have an extra 10 minutes, and access to some fresh, sweet basil, this version will provide a great change of pace from the standard wake-me-up-when-it�s-over hummus recipes.
I didn�t mention it in the video, but as great a chip dip as this is, it�s also a world-class sandwich spread. Turkey on wheat? Yawn. Turkey on wheat with green hummus? Hello! And, don�t even get me started on wraps. I won�t even touch a wrap that doesn�t contain hummus, and neither should you.
Fresh basil should still be in good supply, and what better way to enjoy its fragrant flavor than this delicious dip? I hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!
