Notes
This recipe is so versatile –you can add items to it, depending on your taste… make it spicier, saltier, oilier… add roasted red peppers, jalapenos –you name it…
So simple and quick – you won’t want to buy store bought hummus again!!
Some sprinkled (smoked) paprika on top for color would be nice…
*Better to be safe than sorry – Use the smaller amounts of the salt, chipotle and olive oil first….Taste and adjust.
