Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip or spread made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It is typically served with pita bread, vegetables, or meat. Hummus is a popular food in many parts of the world, and there are many different variations on the recipe. This recipe for Holy Herbivore Hummus is a bit different from traditional hummus recipes in that it uses fresh herbs instead of dried spices. I like to use a combination of parsley, cilantro, and basil, but you can use any herbs that you like. The fresh herbs give the hummus a bright, flavorful taste that is perfect for summer. I also like to use a bit of olive oil in my hummus. Olive oil adds a richness and creaminess to the hummus that makes it extra delicious. You can use any type of olive oil that you like, but I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil for its superior flavor. This hummus is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and fiber. It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, give this Holy Herbivore Hummus a try!
