PICKLED VEGGIE AND TOMATO PESTO LOADED HUMMUS

Hummus is so easy to make and cheaper when you make it at home. Once you make it and see how incredibly simple it is, you’ll make it every time. Plus, making it from scratch is not only budget-friendly, I like that I can control the sodium and other ingredients when I make it.

This pickled veggie hummus dip is superbly delicious and looks great on your table. Party dips can be heavy, but this one is lighter and has healthy ingredients.

HOW TO MAKE LOADED HUMMUS

It doesn’t take long to make this dip Prepping the veggies takes the most time.

You can combine everything else in the food processor. Then, simply top it with the desired veggies and serve it up with pita chips, cucumbers, carrots, celery, etc.

WHAT IS TAHINI?

Tahini is a condiment that originated in the Middle East. It’s made from toasted ground sesame. It’s very flavorful and a main ingredient in hummus. It makes hummus creamy and gives it flavor.

WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR TAHINI?

You can substitute any nut butter although subbing another nut butter will slightly affect the flavor. As well, you can omit it completely.

DOES TAHINI NEED TO BE STORED IN THE REFRIGERATOR?

Just like other kinds of nut butter, tahini can be stored at room temperature. However, it will last longer if stored in the refrigerator.
