Creamy Hummus with Artichokes

We love hummus as a snack! This recipe will take you minutes to make and is perfect for nibbling on the weekend or for a mid-afternoon bite in the office. Serve with your favorite cut-up fresh (organic) raw vegetables. It’s another favorite dip from the Mountain Trek kitchen that can be served with fresh vegetables or Seedy Trail Crackers. Serves 4
