Think SPRING my friends…with this fresh pea hummus recipe. My heart belongs to hummus, it really does. You can essentially take anything and turn it into hummus or a spread of sorts and your friends and family will think you spent hours on it. Once you have made it, spread it on crackers, toast, in wraps or on sandwiches…even burgers! If you want it as the main attraction serve it in the center of some raw or grilled vegetables. Delicious, right?!
