Notes

  • Add smoked paprika and cumin for a warm, robust flavor profile that enhances the richness of this creamy hummus.
  • You can add thinly sliced jalapeños as a garnish for an extra kick of heat.
  • Roasted jalapeños bring an earthy depth to this hummus, but if you're short on time, replace them with pickled hot peppers to add a tangy twist.
  • If you aren’t a cilantro fan, try using other herbs, such as fresh parsley or chives instead. 
  • This hummus pairs perfectly with fresh veggies and low-carb tortilla chips.
