Hummus is one of my all-time favorite foods. I love it as a snack paired with fruit, veggies, chips or crackers. It’s also my favorite condiment for sandwiches and wraps. And, I use it often to make tasty sauces for my pastas and salads.
When I am in a pinch, I will buy it pre-made so it’s ready to go. But if I have a few extra minutes, I pull out my food processor and make a batch of amazing homemade hummus.
A batch of plain hummus can be ready in less than five minutes. Some chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil are the basic ingredients. I also like to sprinkle in some Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon to add great flavor without the need for salt.
And I want a dip that is extraordinary, I caramelize a few onions as a topping to my hummus. It’s ideal for holiday entertaining or just whenever you want a snack that really packs a punch of flavor. Give it a try and you might choose this version every time!
Notice that you don’t need a ton of ingredients for amazing flavor. I depend on Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon to add flavor to my hummus AND my caramelized onions. The combination of flavors really can’t be beat!
New Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon proves that zero salt does NOT mean zero flavor! Made with an expert blend of natural chicken flavor, vegetables and spices, this chicken bouillon gives you all the flavor with none of the salt. This powder bouillon is made with real vegetables, herbs and spices, like carrots, onion and parsley, and is made with absolutely no artificial flavors or preservatives.
