I love hummus. And as of a few days ago, I discovered a new love: a love of miso paste. What a great way to make things more tasty without adding a ton of calories. I wanted to make hummus and I wanted to use miso paste, so I found this recipe:

I followed it, but added some toasted sesame oil for an earthy flavor to balance out the citrus and tanginess from the ginger. Blend and enjoy! I plan on using miso in the future for some new hummus creations, so stay tuned... 

Miso hungry!!!!!
