Introduction

This hummus can be dolloped onto crostini or toast, or eaten as a dip. And it even serves as a rather intriguing, brilliantly hued sauce for plain grilled meats.

For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

  • I whipped this up in minutes with ingredients I already had in the fridge and cupboard. Took a tip from Nigella's other recipes and used Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. Paired perfectly with pita and sparkling wine.
