The best part about this recipe? It doesn't require tahini, often called for in hummus recipes (and could definitely be added if you prefer), it needs a minimal amount of olive oil (healthy appetizer, woo hoo!), and with my food processor, it took all of 5 minutes to make. The hardest part was definitely chopping up the vegetable dippers; in this case, an array of peppers, zucchini, squash, and cucumber.
*Note, if you prefer smoother hummus, feel free to add additional olive oil! This was definitely a thicker, chunkier version.
