Did you know May 13th is National Hummus Day? Today I’m linking up with the Recipe ReDux to share a new hummus recipe that’s perfect for a satisfying snack or appetizer that can also work great in a meal. So often, we think of hummus & pita or hummus with baby carrots, but there are a bunch of other ways to enjoy it.

Lately, I’ve been really digging hummus as a marinade. The first time I made this, I couldn’t believe I’d never tried it before. It’s already become one of my “in the vault” recipes. Aside from being delicious, it’s also packed with protein and happens to be gluten-free. Enjoy with your favorite veggies and (yes) pita, or pair with a simple salad for a satisfying meal that’s cooks up quickly.
