SUN DRIED TOMATO HUMMUS RECIPE
I am a hummus addict. This homemade version is much less expensive than buying store-bought, and I think it tastes better too! Personally, I like my hummus a little thinner, so I double the lemon juice and/or oil depending on what I feel like eating. This is a versatile recipe similar to our other hummus recipes, so season to taste and enjoy! Your Blendtec or Vitamix can easily make this smooth, if using a regular blender it shouldn’t  burn out so long as you have enough liquid (keep the liquid from the chickpeas!).

HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Sun-dried tomatoes contain more bioavailable lycopene than raw tomatoes, so occasionally using them to make something like this hummus is definitely a good idea. Sun-dried tomatoes also contain more vitamin C than raw tomatoes, since ascorbic acid is added to the tomatoes for preservation.  One 100 gram serving of sun-dried tomatoes contains half of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. Raw tomatoes do have more vitamin A, so variety is the best when it comes to keeping a balanced diet. Switch it up and use sun-dried tomatoes next time you have the opportunity!
