Hummus is one of my favorite snacks. I usually grab a tub or two of hummus while I am at the grocery store and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is always one of the flavors that I grab. Recently my husband asked me how come I don’t just make hummus and I had to stop and think for a minute. The answer was, I have no idea! So started my hummus creation journey. I have since made a variety of different flavors and there is absolutely no limit to what you can make.
For a quick, no hassle red pepper hummus I use jarred roasted peppers. You can make your own roasted peppers for the recipe, if you wish, but I used store bought. For me personally, I think it is much simpler. I buy organically roasted peppers with Italian flavoring.
Hummus is more than just a vegetable dip. Try it on a sandwich instead of mayonnaise or mustard. Hummus can be used to coat chicken, pork or fish prior to cooking or as a condiment alongside your protein of choice. It really is a versatile dish that is simple to make and easy to work with.
