I love homemade hummus. In my opinion, the best hummus recipe belongs to Ina Garten, also known as The Barefoot Contessa. You can find her recipe here. It is a perfect base recipe for adding all kinds of different ingredients. I used her recipe as a base for my Southwestern Hummus.
Another favorite dish of mine is Corn and Black Bean Salsa. I was craving both of them last weekend, and I had an epiphany. It would be fantastic if I combined them into one layer dip. It worked, turning into a dip so yummy and healthy. I have been spreading it on Wasa crackers for a quick lunch since Saturday.
I’ve also included my recipe for my Flatbread Wedges that are so easy to make and will add a little something special to your appetizer.
