Next to salsa, hummus is the most popular ‘dip’ in our house. I usually have everything on hand to make a batch. That’s one of the nice things about hummus. The base recipe doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to make. You can treat it like a blank canvas, adding whatever flavors you like. Like this onion hummus, served with toasted pita wedges.
Nice ‘N Smooth
This onion hummus is perfect with some warm homemade pita wedges. You can control the smoothness by processing it more or less in your food processor. We like ours a little chunky but not so chunky that the pita chips bend or brake when we load up on the hummus.

Yikes! You’re very right and I’m so sorry. I had blindly copied the recipe title from the original site. I have corrected this. Thank you for pointing it out to me.
