We’re back from Hawaii! Photos soon =) Today was unpacking/cleaning day, so I was in a snacking mood and made this yummy pine nut and cilantro hummus!
Last time I went home to visit my family, my mom and I experimented with different hummus recipes. We made this delicious cilantro and jalapeño hummus, which was gone before the day was over! Recently, I tried a storebought flavor of hummus with pine nuts. It was really delicious, and since I prefer making my own homemade hummus, I thought I would give it a try. This pine nut and cilantro hummus is really flavorful, and goes very well with vegetables or pita chips!

I have never put pine nuts in hummus before. I can’t wait to try this.
I love how you just whip up hummus like it ain’t no thang! Buuuut maybe if I made it in my magic bullet like you, it wouldn’t feel so cumbersome!! SO Smart! Your addition of cilantro and pine nuts sounds delicious!
YUM! I have homemade hummus in my refrigerator at all times but have never thought to combine pine nuts and cilantro….can’t wait to give this a try!
I almost never make my own hummus! I really should do it more, because there are only a few commercial ones I really like. This is terrific — thanks.
Gorgeous! I love pine nuts in my pesto so wonderful in my hummus too. I can’t wait to hear about your trip to Hawaii. Take care, BAM
I love the idea of cilantro in hummus! I think it would taste really good.
