Black-Eyed Pea Hummus
Add a Southern twist to traditional hummus by swapping chickpeas with black-eyed peas. It's so quick and easy you can whip up a batch in no time. If you venture into infused olive oil, try a smoke infused oil for a great flavor combination. Whether you serve your hummus with sweet potato chips, fresh veggies or pita wedges this dip is sure to be a hit.
