Easy Hummus Recipe
This easy hummus recipe calls for a roasted red pepper (my favorite) but you can easily omit the pepper, or change it out with something more of your choosing. Perhaps sun dried tomatoes ...
Sodium content of this hummus recipe is under 80mg per serving, that is including the added salt. We feel this recipe tastes a bit flat without the salt.
This easy appetizer recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week.
An easy appetizer recipe like this is a perfect recipe to keep bookmarked for company. The main ingredients are easily kept on hand, and it will mix together in a moment's notice.
Yes, this hummus calls for some salt, I feel that the recipe really needs it. A good salt substitute is Also Salt, (Alsosalt Original, 6 Pack) which is widely available in most supermarkets now.
Also Salt, (Alsosalt Original,6 Pack) does not have that chlorine taste that the other salt substitutes have. I use it grain for grain in all my cooking as a salt substitute with excellent results.
