This sounds like kind of a hummus and pesto fusion… I love it!
Exactly! It was inspired by my love of basil and the necessity to use it quickly before it went bad. Thanks for stopping by.
It does not get any simpler that this. Growing basil and rosemary in the garden this year so two less ingredients I have to go to the store for.
OMG…I love pesto!! It’s so summery and fresh. I would have never thought of putting it into hummus. Delicious!
Basil is so wonderful! I definitely want to try growing an herb garden next summer.
Love hummus and basil, but I’ve never put them together. Looks delish!
Thanks- this was a first and definitely an improvisation. Chickpeas make a great base for dips.
