Sun-dried Tomato Hummus

Hummus is a staple in our fridge at home. We use it as a dip, a spread, a dressing, and more. I never buy hummus since it’s so easy to make. Also, since I discovered the effect that good sun-dried tomatoes have on the classic dish, acting as a delightful flavor enhancer, this recipe has replaced my standard for hummus. I’m reminded of the impact of this colorful tweak every time I serve my special variation to guests. There are always oohs and ahhs followed by the question, “What’s in this that makes it so good?”

I’ve included rough measurements below, but I never actually measure ingredients for my sun-dried tomato hummus. I encourage you to follow these rules, but then break them to arrive at your own version of this classic. Use these measurements as a guide and then taste, refine, add or subtract to arrive at your desired consistency and flavor combo.
