pistachio pesto hummus spread
Meet my multi-tasking pistachio pesto hummus spread. You’ll love that you can indulge in this plant-based condiment in three (or more!) ways. First, the recipe makes a delectable match for a sandwich in place of mayo. Second, it’s tasty as an inspired “hummus” paired with cherry tomatoes, sweet bell pepper strips, or practically any seasonal veggie. And third, it’s a colorful, creamy base for a pasta sauce. The pistachios (try Wonderful Roasted & Salted No-Shells Pistachios!) provide unique flavor and color interest. And the finishing drizzle of roasted pistachio oil enhances the nutty flavor profile. Enjoy it often!
