Smoky Chipotle Hummus

SUBMITTED BY: SAVVYHOSTESS PHOTO BY: Lauren

"Don't spend your good money on tiny containers of store-bought hummus! Make your own! This recipe is a fun twist on traditional hummus recipes. The chipotle pepper and cumin lend a bit of heat and smokiness, while the cilantro brightens the flavor. Perfect for entertaining a crowd! Serve with pita chips and fresh vegetables."
