I decided to make a hummus to snack on this evening, but I was wanting something different. I started looking around and found some chipotle peppers and for some reason toasted walnuts popped into my head for some crunch and flavor. With as rich as hummus can be I thought some fresh herbs would be nice. It turned out really good. So I thought I would share it with you. I hope you give it a try - I think it would be great as a dip, or spread for sandwiches.

How To Make chipotle and toasted walnut hummus

    In a medium sauce pan add dried beans and plenty of water to cook them.

    Drain the beans and set aside.
  • 4
    While the beans are cooling, prep your other ingredients. Dice the peppers and garlic.
  • 5
    Add beans to food processor with olive oil, and lemon juice. On high speed blend until beans have broken down.
  • 6
    Add garlic and tahini paste. Blend on high until well combined.
  • 7
    Add peppers, salt, and sauce. If you need to, add additional olive oil and blend on high speed until your hummus reaches desired consistency.
  • 8
    To serve: Spread into bowl evenly, top with broken up toasted walnuts, parsley, and drizzle with olive oil. Enjoy this spread with chips, veggies, pita bread, or tortilla slices.
