Pesto Hummus
Y'all already know we love pesto around here. Sometimes I stare into the sky and wonder what else can I add pesto to? And then one day I was like ..omg hummus. So that's how we got here folks! Creamy, delicious, pesto hummus. I brought this on a fun boat day with friends and they devoured it in 5 minutes. You're gonna love it! This would also be so delicious spread onto a turkey sandwich. Or maybe a provolone pesto grilled cheese. Wow ok YUM. Some important things to note...this can take some prep because you have to peel the chickpeas. Make sure you use a good tahini!
