WOAH BUDDY this hummus. I would sing it a love song if I could sing. I would build it a house if I didn’t accidentally eat it all first. As if hummus wasn’t good enough on it’s own, now it’s sweet because of the corn and has a spicy kick at the end because of the jalapeno. Basically, I’ve met my dream hummus. And it’s going to take some serious convincing to make me change my mind.
I mean, summer is the perfect time to roast corn and dip veggies into buckets of hummus. ‘Cause somedays its too hot to eat real food, but hummus somehow seems to transcend that problem and brings you both protein and flavor. It’s one of my go-tos. I love to have it on hand at all times. Like, all the dang time. There’s always hummus in my fridge.
If you really like spice, you can keep some or all of the jalapeno seeds in the mix, but it will be spicyyyyyy. So that’s totally your call. The corn does a good job at balancing out the spice, but the spice still shines through. It’s a major flavor party in your mouth. Enjoy that!
