Hi, the roasted carrot humus. How many days in advance can it be made? Thanks Maureen
This could be my new favorite hummus! My husband and I watched the episode with this recipe when it aired. We made the hummus that night. I love it! We had it for dinner with a piece of roasted chicken on top…delicious! I took the leftover hummus to work with cut up veggies to snack on. This one is a keeper! Thank You!
