Roasted red pepper hummus gets dressed up with chopped cucumber and feta cheese for an easy, but fancy, holiday !
I especially love that it’s so fast and easy to go homemade – it seriously takes 5 minutes to mix up some hummus. Just throw everything in a food processor and turn it on. Bam! Plus, you get to control the ingredients and it’s a great, healthy dip to serve. Crowd pleaser every time.
