Lunch Pistachios Recipe Snacking
Happy Hummus Day! We are joining the millions around the world celebrating our love for hummus. Hummus can be eaten anywhere and everywhere, enjoy it for it for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
This ancient dish is believed to first be consumed in Egypt around the 13th century. So I thought what better way to eat the hummus than with an ancient nut, the pistachios! Traditionally Hummus is made with tahini (sesame paste) however I’ve have swapped this out in exchange for pistachios to add an amazing twist to this dish.
Loaded with goodness, health benefits and most of all flavour, hummus will benefit you in many ways:
♥ Good Source of Plant-Based Protein

and let’s not forget that I have added pistachios to this dish which to has an abundance of health benefits. This dish might as well be called a superfood dish!
