Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Have you ever made your own hummus? If so, you know what I mean when I say, you’ll never want to buy store bought again. Unless of course, you’re in a real pinch!

Homemade hummus is much more flavorful and fresh tasting! And it’s really so simple to make; it takes longer to wash the dishes than it does to make the actual dip, ha! If you’re serving a crowd or have a family, this is great to double or even triple the recipe of.
