Hummus- the perfect food for any occasion! Hummus is one of those dishes/recipes that are so fun to make. You can swap around ingredients and spices and have an endless world of flavors and textures. This recipe is my pistachio hummus. The pistachio flavor is mild at first- but really comes through the next day. If you plan on making this for a party, let it sit for a day!
From Plant-Based on a Budget: This delicious hummus recipe has been our life long friend and we are delighted to share with you yet another finger-licking version of this spread. This Pistachio Hummus is, as expected, amazing.
Nutrient-Packed Pistachios
Pistachio nuts are so much more than a quick snack! They are full of healthy fats, digestion aiding fiber, and filling protein. Another strong point for these nuts is if it’s Vitamin B6 you’re after then pistachios are one of the foods with the highest concentration of it. Pretty mighty for a tiny nut, right?
These little nuts are not one of the latest superfood fads, people have been eating these for a while. Since 7000 BC to be exact. So it seems their unmistakable flavor and high nutritious benefits have been known and appreciated for centuries.
Green Pistachio Hummus
One of the things we love the most about this Pistachio Hummus is that it is a super simple recipe and it uses very few ingredients while sounding fancy at the same time. The word pistachio does the trick even though they can be fairly inexpensive, especially if you buy the snack version which is salted and roasted.
So, remember, next time you are planning a dinner party or a fancy appetizer platter, this is the hummus for you. It will delight your friends and keep them wondering.

Additional Info
Just made this one and it’s incredible!!! The subtle flavor of pistachio is so nice in this mix and yes, it needs all that cumin. Thought perhaps was a typo and should be 1 tsp. so went lightly. Added extra garlic and lemon to mine as well. Fab recipe!!
Love the extra garlic and lemon addition! So glad you enjoyed this hummus recipe!
