Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

A recipe courtesy of Chef Rachel, who specializes in making recipes using our oils and balsamics.

“There are very few ingredients required to make hummus.  In light of this, it’s imperative that the handful of ingredients used be of the highest quality available especially where the olive oil is concerned. This, and only this, is the secret to amazing hummus.

And while it’s hard to imagine getting tired of great hummus, if you’d like a little change of pace, try this exceedingly delicious and easy rendition that includes heart healthy roasted red peppers marinated in UP-certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil. ”
