Dairy Free but oh so creamy?! Hummus.
The ingredients in hummus are usually clean and simple: chickpeas, tahini (sesame butter), water, oil, lemon juice, sea salt, vinegar, and garlic. No fuss, no weird ingredients, just well blended chickpeas with added flavor! The chickpeas, being in the bean family, add extra fiber, nutrition, and protein!
Hummus is jam packed with flavor and can be eaten with a variety of veggies, chips, and crackers! Why not add it to a pasta salad and let it do all the hard work for you?!
