Buckle up youngsters, we’ve bought a recipe from 2012 making its comeback. Apart from the unique date on this publish, you may imagine it’s from 2012 as a result of right here’s an excerpt from the unique:

We’re swapping chickpeas for white beans
That’s proper, in contrast to conventional hummus recipes, there aren’t any chickpeas concerned on this recipe! I really like the additional creamy texture that white beans (AKA cannellini beans) give this hummus, plus all the common advantages of protein and fiber. You’re going to LOVE this model.
