A refreshing summer twist on hummus- Basil hummus!
I had a beautiful bunch of basil sitting in my kitchen... and I thought hmmm... I love pesto... and I love hummus- so voila!
This recipe is super fast, healthy and super creamy for dipping veggies, tomatoes (think caprese), or any cracker or chip of your choice, or as a layer on a sandwich or “meal in a bowl”.
