We love a good dip to go with our crackers and this simple recipe is so easy to whip together.

There are many benefits of making homemade hummus. It’s a fraction of the cost. You can be sure it won’t contain any suspicious ingredients. It’s a great way to use leftover pumpkin. And you can get creative and change the flavour of it by adding roasted vegetables or different herbs and spices. Happy days! 

All you really need to do is put the short list of ingredients into a food processor and blend it until you get a super creamy, delicious dip. 

If you want to spice things up even more, add in some extra paprika or chilli.

2. Add all ingredients to the food processor and blend until smooth.
