Happy April Fool’s Day!
(can you believe that it’s April already?!)
I am not big on pulling pranks, today or any day, but if you want to play a delicious prank on your family and friends, whip up a batch of my mom’s April Fool’s Hummus (which is absolutely harmless!).
It is a twist on my traditional hummus recipe…
…by replacing white beans for the traditional chickpeas. A tasty, sneaky prank that makes the most stubborn hummus haters change their tune.
It’s all because the white beans have a super mild flavor (which my mom loves) and a super smooth texture (which I love). And the recipe is still super easy.
Combine minced garlic and the white beans…
…with some white vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until the beans are broken down slightly.
See, even without the olive oil, the hummus is already becoming smooth.
After an addition of olive oil, utter hummus nirvana.
Just dish it up and serve to your unsuspecting family and friends!
Happy April Fool’s Day, everyone!
