This Italy-inspired hummus is a recipe I created in celebration of my bountiful basil harvest. Did you know that basil has natural antidepressant properties? For me, that's just one more reason to put it in everything!
Directions:
1
Place ingredients in blender or food processor and puree until creamy, scraping sides occasionally.
2
Taste and adjust flavors as desired.

So good! I made this exactly as written, and I don't think I'll change anything next time around. This makes a great sandwich filling, and was a good way to use up my extra basil. Thanks for posting!

This was really good. I used a little less oil and a 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, pepper (and also smoked paprika). I definitely did not need to add water to this - it was just the right consistency.

I've made this twice now. It's excellent, and a nice change from other hummus recipes. Thanks!
