Cranberry Hummus

Cranberry Hummus

Thanksgiving dinner is a lot of work, but a make-ahead Thanksgiving appetizer doesn’t have to be. This is a great way to keep your hungry guests happy until the big meal hits the table. Serving suggestions are toasted pita bread wedges, crackers, crostini, or fresh veggies. And if you have any left, use it as a spread on a turkey sandwich.
