This is one of those recipes that I feel proud to pass around the office or bring to a family get together. I’m not saying that it’s the ultimate, most perfect, absolutely divine, everybody-always-loves-it-as-much-as-me, final say in hummus recipes.
That would just be silly. But I will say that this hummus is my favorite. It sort of tastes like pizza.
Oh no! I ruined it for you didn’t I? Well, listen up pizza haters: Try this. Even if you don’t like pizza (weirdos!). Even if you don’t like hummus (double weirdos!!).
It’s super easy to throw together, is pretty healthy for you, and tastes wonderful. Unless you’re a weirdo, which I feel like I’ve already covered.
Sun-Dried Tomato Cilantro Hummus, makes about 3 cups
1 can chickpeas
1/3 cup sun-dried tomato spread (found mine in the produce section)
2 tablespoon tahini paste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt + more to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
pepper and red pepper to taste
First you need to rinse and remove the skins from the chickpeas. Most canned chickpeas still have the skins on them. There may be a brand out there that doesn’t. But better safe than sorry. If you’ve never removed the skins you can see me doing this here.
Now place the first five ingredients in your food processor and blend until combined. Now slowly drizzle in the olive oil as the food processor is on low.
If your processor doesn’t allow for this then try adding the oil in three steps, blending in between. Try it and add pepper, salt and red pepper to taste. If you have a lemon, squeeze it over just before serving.
I like to serve hummus with cucumbers and crackers. Other great options include: carrot sticks, celery, pita, tiny toast (totally a thing) or beef jerky (jk, weird).
Enjoy this guys! After all, it’s almost pizza hummus. 🙂 xo. Emma

Sounds good. 🙂 I’m going to try it.
P.S. You have a typo. It should be “tastes like pizza” not “taste like pizza.
P.S.S. You have other grammatical errors as well. I think you need Strunk & White. I tell you this because I believe your writing has potential.
This idea is really great for a hot summer party with friends!
Thanks for sharing!

Just gorgeous! I’m definitely trying this on the weekend!
This post reminded me that I should go and buy a new food processor (my previous died on me) so that I can make this yummy snack. Excited!
nothing sounds more fabulous than this.

Will have to try this out! It looks delicious!
Oooh, yum! I love hummus AND pizza, so I will definitely be trying this!
Yum! I bookmarked this recipe and will be sure to try it out because I’m always looking for creative ways to use cilantro. This is one of the most unique that I’ve seen!
Oh wow, that looks so good! Hummus that tastes anything like pizza sounds like a true winner for me. I can’t wait to try it out.
Oh, I also didn’t have sun-dried tomato spread, so I just soaked some sun-dried tomatoes in hot water and used them like that.
I made this with basil instead of cilantro because I just love basil. I also added some garlic. We had it with salad and it was amazing.
This looks amazing. I love anything with cilantro so will definitely be trying. thanks for sharing!
Oh gosh! I think it’s time I finally cave and get a food processor!
Jesus!!! That looks divine!!!!!!!!!!!:)
