  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to taste. This will help to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve the pesto hummus with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers.
  • If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the hummus. You want it to be smooth, but not too thin.
  • If you are making the hummus ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The hummus is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find the perfect combination for you.
