HFT Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Looking for a healthy, easy snack?
This recipe is one I made up to incorporate several “Super Foods“. I’ve been on a super food kick lately. I will be writing more about my kick in the days to come and posting recipes that highlight these foods, which have multiple benefits. In this hummus there are chickpeas, roasted red peppers and walnut oil. Each of these is a super food in its own right, and combining them not only makes a tasty dish, but makes you a little bit healthier than you were before. At least that’s what they say. It’s better for you than French onion dip, for sure!
You’ll need a food processor for this recipe. I use Cuisinart.
