Dill Hummus with Toasted Pita Wedges

The beauty of hummus is that it is open to almost endless taste options. I’ve made roasted garlic and roasted red pepper hummus, for example. Both were easy to make, and had fairly classic flavors. This dill hummus with toasted pita wedges is different, with a much more complex flavor. It was absolutely fantastic. You taste every ingredient.

I’m not sure I’d make ‘normal’ hummus again after tasting this.

I used dried dill since I didn’t have fresh dill on hand, but if you do have the fresh stuff substitute a tablespoon of chopped dill for the dried. Or use more, if you’d like.

Also try my sour cream and onion hummus.
