Buffalo Wing Hummus

If you follow this blog you know that I’m a lover of all things Buffalo-wing-flavored. From wraps to pizza to cauliflower. I’m not picky as long as it has that great vinegary heat with a hint of butter. So why wouldn’t I make Buffalo wing hummus? Yep, smooth hummus with that sneak-up-on-you spicy flavor. Perfect and a big hit at our last family get-together.

There’s nothing wrong with dipping pita bread in this hummus, but since there’s wing flavors in there, don’t forget to have some celery and carrot sticks around too.

Also try my Buffalo chicken dip.

Sour Cream and Onion Hummus

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 sour cream and onion hummus, served with toasted pita wedges. Despite the name, there’s not any sour cream in this dish, but it does have that great sour cream taste.

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.
