The addition of pesto makes this particular hummus extra rich and luxurious. Paired with the crispy garlic pita chips, this is not a snack to miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talked last time about using dried chickpeas to make this hummus and I really do think it’s worth it, although if you REALLY don’t want to soak your own, use 2 cans of chickpeas instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing particularly wrong with canned chickpeas, it’s just soaking your own gives your hummus that extra fresh flavor. You’ll use some of the cooking water to thin out the hummus and make it extra special. If you’ve never made your own hummus by soaking your own beans before, I dare you to give it a try! You’ll never go back and it’s super easy, I promise!<\/p>\n\n\n

Every time I make a recipe like this, that’s thrown together quickly at the weekend and lasts all week, I think I must make more of them. They are the kind of recipe everybody enjoys because it’s easy, healthy and delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve been munching my way through this plate of hummus all week, and now it’s gone and I’m writing this, I’m very tempted to go and make another plate! Do you have a favorite afternoon snack recipe? Let me know in the comments if you do, and if you make this version of my hummus!<\/p>\n\n\n
