I’ve always been that girl who brings hummus (with veggies) to a party. I also love having it in the fridge to stir into a salad or bowl. It instantly livens things up with a bright taste and creamy texture.

And this seedless version (our household has a tahini allergy) couldn’t be a more well-rounded dish. It’s loaded with healthy fats (olive oil/peanuts), whole food protein sources (garbanzos/peanuts), a whole food carb source (garbanzos) and colorful plants (lemon/beets), making it a satisfying and filling snack or topping.
