To serve, simply open the container and transfer the hommus to a bowl. You can drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for added richness and visual appeal.

How it differs from similar foods
The inclusion of pine nuts is the primary difference from standard hommus. Pine nuts contribute a unique nutty flavor and a slightly softer texture to the overall blend.
