Tips:

  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for the best pesto hummus. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts adds a nutty flavor to the pesto. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use in the pesto will have a big impact on the flavor of the hummus. Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • Adjust the seasonings to your taste: The amount of lemon juice, salt, and pepper you add to the hummus is up to you. Taste it and adjust the seasonings until it's to your liking.
  • Serve the hummus with your favorite toppings: Pesto hummus is delicious with a variety of toppings. Try it with grilled vegetables, pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pesto hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that is perfect for parties, potlucks, or a simple snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your taste. So next time you're looking for a new dip to try, give pesto hummus a try. You won't be disappointed!
