Summer is peak chips and dip season, which means Trader Joe's new Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is about to become a major summertime staple.
Trader Joe's new Roasted Red Pepper Hummus starts with a base of creamy, puréed chickpeas and sesame seeds, which has been blended with sunflower oil to give it a superbly smooth texture. The hummus is also infused with flavorful, roasted red peppers and a pinch of sea salt to give it a bright and savory flavor.
While the new Roasted Red Pepper Hummus lends itself well to pita chips, crackers, and crudite, it's also a surprisingly versatile ingredient. As Trader Joe's explains, "We also find that its creamy consistency and delightfully peppery notes make it especially suited for spreading on sandwiches and wraps."
