Description

Looking for a hummus that’s a little different? This Great Northern Bean and Cilantro Lime Hummus swaps traditional chickpeas for creamy Great Northern beans, creating an irresistibly smooth dip with a mild, buttery flavor. Fresh lime juice, garlic, tahini, cumin, and cilantro bring vibrant, zesty notes to every bite, while a hint of cayenne adds just the right touch of warmth.  

Serve it with crisp vegetables, warm pita, crackers, or your favorite tortilla chips, or spread it on wraps and sandwiches for an easy boost of fresh flavor. It’s a simple homemade dip that’s both versatile and refreshing, making it one you’ll be reaching for long after the bowl is empty.
