We love a delicious hummus! Not only is it a great appetizer, but it can also serve as a hearty and healthy snack as well! Hummus is made by blending chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice. However, we thought that we’d mix it up a little big by using black eyed peas instead. Throw in some smoky seasoning and spicy jalapeño, and you’ve got yourself a brand new dish! Spicy Jalapeño Black Eyed Peas Hummus is high in fiber and protein. Therefore, you don’t have to feel quite as guilty when you indulge on those delicious flavors! Also, you can feel even better when you serve it with fresh crudités. However you choose to enjoy Spicy Jalapeño Black Eyed Peas Hummus…just make sure you leave enough to share! Eat more dipping foods and stay fabulous!
