Buffalo Wing Hummus!  This was a big hit.

Creamy buffalo wing taste, with crunchy falafel and pita chips. Everything you love about buffalo wings – spicy creamy wing flavour with crunch. This was an unexpected treat on the mezze platter. And the first to go!

I also made cheddar chicken strips to add a cheese component to recreate the buffalo wing experience. And the chicken strips wasn’t even needed. This buffalo hummus was perfect with falafel or chips.  One of the few occasions where chicken isn’t the first to go.  Thats practically unheard of at my table.

There are a bunch of ‘secrets’ to the smoothest hummus. One very logical one is to peel the garbanzos beans. I thought of doing it, but after peeling two beans, I realized I don’t need my hummus to be THAT smooth. Ain’t nobody got time for that! And the extra fiber can only be good for you.

I played around with the order I added the ingredients. This time I beat the tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. Like you would when making mayonnaise.  I’ve never had a problem with hummus not being lush velvety and creamy .
And this hummus was so tasty and yummy, and unexpected, it disappeared in no time.

I think this is our current favorite creamy sandwich spread and dressing. without the fat and guilt.  You won’t miss the mayo and cheese. And best of all, you can overeat without feeling sick after.
