This Basil Pesto Hummus combines two delicious recipes in one. Made in minutes, it couldn't be any easier!

Not only is this hummus easy to make, but it is cheaper than store-bought. Those little tubs are just not worth the price in my opinion, when I can make a big batch for a lot less.

Eat this basil pesto hummus with sliced cucumbers, and crackers, or spread on a sandwich.

I've made many hummus recipes over the years and used them in quesadillas, burritos, and vegan lettuce wraps. Hummus is a versatile condiment to have around.

A fun healthy dessert hummus is my Dark Chocolate Hummus. It goes well with fruit or crackers.

Other versatile recipes to try are my Dill Pickle Hummus recipe and my Vegan Avocado Pesto recipe.
