Lemon Basil Hummus

May 7, 2013 By admin 2 comments

I have made a lot of hummus. We like it and it is a great and very portable snack all year round.  In the summer it comes with us on the boat and during the school year it makes weekly appearances in our lunchboxes. It is quick and easy to make with or without the use of tahini. My friends at 240Sweet and Lemleys Catering posted shared their recipe for Lemon Basil Hummus on their blog recently and I had to try it out!

I made my own pita chips which, in my opinion, is cheaper and better than buying the premade kind.  I literally spent 2 minutes prepping these and 5-7 minutes baking them. That blows all excuses out of the water!

On a side note here is a clip of Felix and I making these Pita Chips AND pita pizzas on The Friday Zone~ A children’s Television Series on Indiana Public Television WTIU/WFYI!

    Yes that's a yummy sounding hummus, not a pesto as described on a post by someone else. :-)
