Minty Pea Hummus: A Fresh & Vibrant Twist on a Classic
If you’re after a dip that’s light, refreshing, and a little different from the usual hummus, then this Minty Pea Hummus is a must-try. It’s full of flavour, gorgeously green, and incredibly versatile, perfect for crackers, veggie sticks, or as a tasty sandwich filler.
A Hummus with a Twist
This vibrant version of hummus combines the sweetness of peas, the earthy goodness of spinach, and a bright kick from fresh mint. It’s a fantastic way to add colour and nutrients to your plate, and even the kids love it!
What gives this hummus its smooth and silky texture isn’t oil, but aquafaba, the liquid from a tin of chickpeas. It’s a brilliant, low-fat alternative to oil and makes your dip extra creamy without compromising on flavour.
