White Bean Hummus

White Bean Hummus

This White Bean Hummus is similar to Chickpea Hummus – but not quite. Cannellini Beans have a milder and creamier consistency. Dress the Hummus with anything you like or have on hand. We love Slow Roasted Tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, parsley, red onion, and orange peppers.
