Hollylujah Hummus

Hummus, you know I love you. You're the perfect dip and sandwich spread, you are a delicious and easy source of protein, but we've got to talk. You're packed with oil, and everyone knows it. You're not fooling anyone. What we have is beautiful and I don't want it to end, but just hope I can change you, so that I can enjoy you without all of the guilt.

Turns out hummus is pretty flexible. Check out this new and improved version of my love, with a quarter of the oil, half the salt, and all of the taste.

Inspired by and adapted from my favorite hummus recipe, which you can find here.
