Balsamic hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. It is made with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, and gets its unique flavor from the addition of balsamic vinegar. Whether you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy hummus or simply want to try something different, balsamic hummus is a great option. Here are a few tips for making the best balsamic hummus: Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the hummus will taste. Look for fresh chickpeas, tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds, and a good-quality balsamic vinegar. Use a food processor or blender. This will help to create a smooth and creamy hummus. If you do not have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a bit more time and effort.

FUSION HUMMUS
This is kind of a Mediterranean twist on hummus. It's quick, cheap, and super tasty. It goes great on bread, crackers, and is good even stirred into grilled vegetables. Plus, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary... how could you go wrong?

BALSAMIC HUMMUS
Just a hint of balsamic vinegar adds a lovely dimension to this no-oil added hummus. Serving size is approx 2 tbsp. Update: If you decide to freeze this (as I just did), you'll need to blend it with a small amount of water once it is thawed - otherwise it will be too dry!)

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful chickpeas, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Look for organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Don't overcook the chickpeas: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a food processor or blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture: If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but this will take longer.
- Season the hummus to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Serve the hummus with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings include olive oil, chopped parsley, paprika, crumbled feta cheese, and roasted vegetables.
