This recipe is great for parties as well as snack attacks. Store-bought hummus has 4 grams of carbs per serving, but sometimes the flavor needs a boost. When I buy a tub of roasted red pepper hummus it has like 10 little pieces of pepper in it. So, I take plain hummus and grind it up with a whole jar of roasted peppers and then I have a red, delicious bowl of a terrific dipper!
