Roasted Pepper Hummus
Hummus is an incredibly delicious Mediterranean classic, and this roasted pepper hummus is deliciously creamy and made with roasted red peppers, parsley, pine nuts, tons of olive oil, and chickpeas of course! I love to enjoy this hummus with tortilla chips or pita chips, vegetables like cucumbers or carrots, or in a sandwich.
