Red Pepper Hummus

A super easy red pepper hummus recipe - this flavoured hummus recipe is delicious as part of a mezze spread.

We just can't get enough of this easy red pepper hummus recipe. A healthy dip that's packed to bursting the delicious sweet flavour of roasted red peppers.

Not only is it great as part of a mezze spread or with tapas, it’s also great on sandwiches and wraps.

Or eat it as a dip for crispy potato wedges, tortilla crisps or vegetable sticks.

It’s also a great way of getting reluctant veggie eaters to eat some!

Makes a great lunchbox recipe and is perfect as an after school snack or as a party dip.
