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.

Sour Cream and Onion Hummus

Nice ‘N Smooth

This sour cream and 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.
