All about the fall appetizers this weekend. Tonight we’re being festive with this pumpkin hummus. It’s super different than any other hummus I have tasted before, but it is actually really good. It’s the perfect addition to any fall cheese or antipasto board, and it’s great with crunchy crackers for all that dipping and dunking.
The hummus has a strong pumpkin flavor, but it is also spicy which gives it that extra kick that you need. So it ends up being the perfect combination of both sweet and spicy flavors. So you’ve got the classic chickpeas, the sweet pumpkin, the chipotle peppers in adobo mixed with both sweet and savory spices, and finally the pistachios on top to tie it all together.
I have been wanting to give pumpkin hummus a try all fall and today just seemed like a good day to do it. It’s Halloween weekend and tonight I am having dinner in the city with some friends. We are going to do a wine and cheese happy hour on the rooftop, so I am brining some goodies including this pumpkin hummus. The weather is perfect for a little fall outdoor happy hour before we go to the bars. It’s not too cold yet, but there is the perfect fall chill in the air for sweatpants and sweatshirts with wine and cheese !!
Happy Saturday guys !! Hope you’re all having a great halloweekened !!
