Healthy Thai Hummus Recipe
The Weird Hummus Recipe That's Become My New Favorite
Fiber- and protein-packed hummus is always a healthy option, but recently, this staple snack has been losing its luster. After tasting the coconut-curry flavor from Boulder-based Hope Hummus, I fell in love all over again. The combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy was so exciting that I immediately went home to hack the recipe.
Healthy spices like curry and turmeric and an interesting array of produce blend together for this Thai twist on the Mediterranean classic. It might not be exactly like the traditional, but it's still sure to satisfy.
