A trio of cheeses, homemade roasted garlic, and fresh herbs star in this super-easy and unbelievably smooth hummus.—It’s the perfect dip for any holiday appetizer table!
Appin’, baby! Monday called and said that it wanted a garlicky + herby + CHEESY hummus.
And really, I could not agree more. So this happened. ♥
Let’s be honest here: The appetizer portion of Thanksgiving is usually SO under-appreciated if you ask me. Hey, some people get the “hungrys” BAD while they’re waiting the endless hours for that turkey to bake. Need some munchies, yo!
Namely me, if you really want to get technical here. I’m so that person that spends all afternoon guarding the appetizer table. Somebody has to socialize with the snacks! Seriously.
So. This hummus is seriously the easy of peaaaasy! Anyone can make it, and if you ask me, everyone totally should. Everything hummus-awesome simply gets thrown into the food processor…
…a quick little whirl later…Welcome to Hummus Land! It’s really nice here. ♥
What should you dip into your hummus? Naturally, I come with a host of options in the dipper department. —>
- Fresh cut veggies. The only way to eat fresh veggies. We all know it.
- The good ‘ol classic chips. And if we’re being exact, THESE chips from Food Should Taste Good are pretty much the bomb.com in pretty much everything, but especially this hummus. Either the sweet potato or the pumpkin chips are absolutely dangerous but in totally the healthiest way! But I mean, really. There is no self-control present. Poof. Gone.
Translation: Get your hands on these chips asap. GO.!!
Really, friends. This hummus tho…ALL bets are off as far as sharing goes. In fact, it might not even end up finding it’s way to the snack table.—It probably won’t make it past your spoon. 😉
I only speak from life experiences, guys. The hummus struggle is reaaaaaaal.
In fact, you should probably test this recipe today before making it for the Thanksgiving snack table. Sharing = completely optional. 😉
Let’s go DIPPING! ♥

All you have to say is roasted garlic and I’m hooked! I love the sweet potato Food Should Taste Good chips too. I could probably eat this entire batch of hummus if you let me 🙂
