The Munchie's Staple - Lemon Pepper Hummus

Instant Karma 

Hummus has always been our go-to-snack/dip. Nothing beats it's yummy goodness on some warm pita bread. What makes this snack even better is that - it's good for you. You're not cheating! Protein & tastiness all in one package. The only draw back was the ridiculous prices you usually have to pay at the grocery store - so we typically had to wait until it went on sale. Not anymore. The only ingredient that I had to buy for this recipe was the can of chick peas. Bo-yah! 99 cents. 


I sliced some fresh red peppers, green peppers and used up the rest of our tortilla chips and this batch didn't last long at all. Between me and my taste testers we gobbled it up. I look forward to doing several variations of this recipe with Roasted Garlic, Roasted Red Pepper and even Black Bean Hummus. Hummus is also a wonderful substitute for mayo on sandwiches or wraps! What little bit I could scrape out of the bowl I spread on a flour tortilla wrap, added tomatoes, peppers and yes of course pineapple. Awesomeness.
