Chef John's Green Hummus

This simple, basil-spiked ‘green’ hummus is a great summer twist on everyone’s favorite spread. Turkey on wheat? Yawn. Turkey on wheat with green hummus? Hello! And don’t even get me started on wraps. I won’t even touch a wrap that doesn’t contain hummus, and neither should you.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the basil and cook uncovered until bright green, about 20 seconds. Immediately plunge basil in ice water until cold. Squeeze basil to remove excess moisture and pat dry with a paper towel.
