Sun Dried Tomato Hummus is a delicious way to enjoy hummus with the delicious flavor of sun dried tomatoes. It is made with a blend of chickpeas, oil packed sun dried tomatoes, some seasoning, and lemon juice. Super easy clean eating!
I fell in love with sun dried tomatoes when I first made this Parmesan Pasta Salad recipe. Right then and there, I realized just how delicious they were and how versatile they were to add to recipes to give a punch of flavor.
I love to serve sun dried tomato hummus with these buttery garlic bread chips, celery or carrots. It is also great as part of a Greek Salad Bowl or even on a sandwich with lettuce!
