Pumpkin Hummus

This pumpkin hummus is a great spin on the traditional dip and perfect for fall! Traditional hummus has become very popular because it is a hearty snack that isn’t bad for us (and we all know those aren’t easy to find). It pairs well with many foods and is low in saturated fat, sodium, and calories. This pumpkin hummus is no different! And that’s not all. Pumpkins are really good for us! Pumpkins are great sources of vitamin A, beta-carotene, and potassium. They are also a good source of vitamin C. So, make a batch of this amazing hummus and get snacking!
