This straightforward selfmade hummus is an effective way to make use of any leftover tender herbs and greens in your fridge. Actually, the extra selection, the extra advanced the flavour. Serve it as a dip with recent greens and seeded crackers as we do right here, or add a dollop to a grain bowl or use as a substitute of mayo on a turkey wrap.
RD Tip: Although the recipe requires particular greens for dipping, any sort will do (and be scrumptious with this hummus)!
