Roasted Red Pepper Tapenade Hummus

I love hummus. It’s easy, yummy, a great way to get some plant protein in and the kids just keep dipping. This combination of zesty and sour, may look benign, but it has a spicy kick and gives off some heat to keep your metabolism going. This is a huge hit when friends come over to watch some kind of sporting event. This also makes a great substitute for mayo.
