So savory, healthy and full of flavor, this delicious hummus is what I love to make in the summer when I have lots of basil growing!
This is actually a recipe from the archives I’m resurrecting so it can get the love it deserves. Â A few years back, I used to buy hummus ALL. THE. TIME. Â Then one day I was trying to figure out what to do with all of the basil I had growing and started making this hummus.
It’s as simple as throwing everything into your food processor pretty much. Â I got off of my hummus kick for a while, but have been craving it here lately so what better way to bring back an old recipe that had HORRIBLE photographs?!
Homemade hummus is so much better than store-bought and the most difficult part of making it is cleaning up the food processor.
Hummus is perfect with just about any kind of chips, veggies or toasted bread. Â I love it with celery!
