A delicious spin on basic hummus.  Make sure to use fresh basil!  Dry just won’t give you the same, wonderful flavor.  Hummus is so easy to make – there’s really no need to ever buy pre-made, especially considering how much fat is in most store-bought varieties.

Units:MetricUS Imperial

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients except basil in food processor or high-powdered blender. Process/blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water until desired consistency is reached.
2. Stir in basil and refrigerate at least one hour before serving (this isn't necessary - you can begin eating right away - I just think it tastes best as flavors set a while).
