One – Step Spicy Hummus

A few weeks ago I got together with some friends for a potluck. My friend Waqarun, who is from Pakistan, brought a bowl of spicy hummus to the table. It was delicious, light, smooth, and so flavorful. I had to get the recipe because there was no way I was going to allow that to be the last time I ate such wonderful hummus. 

I’m always looking for quick, make-at-home snacks since trail mix can get a little old at times. This was super easy to make; just throw all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse. I bought some pita bread from the Pakistani grocery store down the street and cut them up into triangles. It was so delicious and made for a wonderful healthy snack. 

The one thing I love about hummus is that it can be customized to your liking and you can make so many different flavors and varieties, this way it can never get boring. I hope you try out this recipe, you won’t have any regrets, trust me…
