Sundried Tomato and Basil Layered Hummus

Sun-dried tomato and basil layered hummus is an easy and gorgeous appetizer with Italian flavors for your favorite Middle Eastern dip.

Well there is no surprise that I am addicted to hummus. I have been devouring the dip all throughout my life. It has just been in the recent years that I have started making my own and only on desperate occasions will we buy a tub of the pre-made stuff. Not that it's bad, it's just making your own hummus is so rewarding. You know what goes in it, you can adjust to any flavor and ingredients you have on hand and it's very inexpensive!

This layered hummus is both pretty and delectable. Familiar Italian flavors of sun-dried tomato and bright basil are paired together for a 'Medi-Italian' fusion, if you will. Made the same way as my other hummus recipes, I just added savory sun-dried tomato with their so flavorful olive oil. And for the basil, just a few picks of the fresh leaves.

This recipe makes a lot of hummus and I think it would be fabulous for a party appetizer

3. When ready, layer hummus on top of each other and garnish with additional sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.
