LEMON TWIST HUMMUS WITH SPRING PEA PESTO & GREMOLATA

We made it through winter and as I look out my dining room window, my tulip are blooming, the iris stalks stand high, the peony stems stand straight and tall like soldiers – buds will soon follow! The rose bushes are awake, full with brand new green-red stalks and buds; the hydrangeas have been pruned and a few chartreuse-green leaves have sprouted, the lilies have broken through the dirt – in other words, Spring has finally, finally arrived! Can we all just say a collective ‘Hallelujah!’

With this next week’s temperatures hitting the upper 70s and full sun, I’m itching to put some seeds in the edible garden: chard, spinach, kale, radishes and sweet spring peas – which brings me to this recipe.SIZED_pea_pesto_2

Sabra’s Lemon Twist Hummus is my personal favorite; bright, lemony without being sweet or tart, it’s the perfect backdrop to add a lovely spring pesto topping – and the gremolata with additional lemon zest, parsley and finely chopped garlic really brings the lemon flavor home.

The Professor and I cook together almost every night and one of the nice things about having hummus in our refrigerator, is that it makes for a great nibble as dinner preparations are under way. You can adopt this tradition at home by pulling out your favorite hummus, gathering a few seasonal veggies or your favorite crudité, add a few crostini, pour a refreshing cocktail and enjoy connecting with family.

Disclosure: I am being compensated for sharing Sabra products with our readers; however, everything I write here are my own words, my own opinion, and my own experiences.
