Bowl & Basket Roasted Pine Nut Hummus
What it is
This is a ready-to-eat dip made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and roasted pine nuts. The roasting process for the pine nuts brings out a deeper, nuttier flavor that complements the creamy base. It is typically found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, ready to be served as a snack or appetizer. The texture is smooth and spreadable, with a distinct aroma from the garlic and tahini.
