Home-Made Hummus

Anna + Em
Healthy savoury snacks We love, love, love hummus!! This is a fridge staple most weeks in the Soul Sister kitchen - it is excellent as a dip with crudités, as a spread on rice cakes or as a base on sandwiches and wraps.
The chickpeas provide a lovely vegetarian source of protein, while the tahini is a great source of calcium - making hummus an excellent addition to any snack time. This recipe is easy, nutritious and delicious and is whipped up in 5 minutes - you will never buy store-bought again!
