Description
Hummus is usually a pretty healthy thing on its own but it can be boring, flavor-wise. This is a Southwestern take on hummus, studded with pickled jalapeño peppers and seasoned with lime juice, garlic, cilantro and a surprising ingredient - peanut butter! This is excellent served with crudités or served on crackers. It is naturally gluten-free, so for those watching their gluten intake, this is a perfect snack or appetizer for you. This recipe is also forgiving - you can make it as hot as you want it.
