If you’re an avid hummus eater like me, there may be times when you fancy something a little different. Not that I’m off hummus – I don’t think that could every happen! After all, hummus comes in all shades, like my roasted squash and harrisa hummus or startling pink beetroot hummus. But, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest; this super tasty dip definitely hits the spot. Continue reading “White bean, roasted garlic and thyme dip”
