Watercress Hummus [vegan]

This watercress hummus has a lovely peppery taste.

Watercress has a very interesting past and is deeply ingrained in the history of Hampshire in Britain. The quintessential British superfood is rich in Vitamin C, E, iron and calcium.

Here watercress gives a lovely peppery taste to this hummus recipe. This dip makes a quick and healthy lunch spread on toast, sandwich etc.. and paired with other vegetables such as asparagus, carrots etc…

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
