I saw a funny meme the other day that said, ‘why have we gotta scroll through someone’s whole life story to get to a recipe these days?’ LOL. I think it’s because to improve your SEO you should write longer blog posts! >< But it’s so true and I can definitely fall into the same trap sometimes, especially when there’s lots on my mind or if a recipe reminded me of something. So, this time I won’t be providing three thousand words on how I came across this hummus recipe – let’s just say thank you to Choices Markets for sending me a lovely gift basket, with the ingredients and inspiration for this healthy dip – and you won’t have to endure another two thousand words on The History of The Black Bean or how it reminds me of a family get-together back in 2009!
This hummus recipe is vegan, gluten-free and super quick to make. Enjoy!
