There are so many appetizers and dips I want to make during football season this year so it was hard to narrow it down to just one. We've been eating healthier over the past few months though so in the end this amazing buffalo hummus is what I ended up making.This hummus is delicious. It's made with healthy ingredients and is full of flavor. I love regular hummus but I hate the price I have to pay for it. While I enjoy making my own, I don't like to price of tahini either. Luckily the market I go to had tahini half off this week and I had all the other ingredients in my pantry so this was a cheap appetizer to make for the game.
The hummus is a little thicker then what I normally buy at the market but I like it better that way. It is full of flavor and has a nice kick to it. I served it with both pita chips and celery and both were gone within a few minutes. It would also be a perfect starter when serving wings for a game. I have a feeling I'll be making this dish a lot this football season!

ReplyDeleteNow this is the kind of Hummus I could get my husband to eat! WOW.....I can't believe I'm already this hungry at 8:30 in the morning! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI´m a fan of hummus, this recipe is one to try! Love the idea. Happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteLove this idea for hummus! I love the taste of buffalo wings, but I hardly ever eat them. This seems like a good alternative for me ;)
ReplyDeleteA delicious and healthy option!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHummus is so much better when you make it yourself. The store bought version doesn't do the healthy dip justice. This looks so good, and I can't wait to try it. Happy #SundaySupper!
ReplyDeleteI adore hummus! I want to eat all of this! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI love Hummus and Buffalo Wings, the hubs will be happy too :) looks great!
ReplyDeleteWe are a hummus family :) I will have to try your version of it.
ReplyDeleteWe love all types of humus and to find tahini at half price that's just amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are obsessed with hummus in this house, even the 1 year old, so it's always fun to find new recipes to try.
ReplyDeleteChicken Wings and Buffalo Wing Hummus! I am ready for a #SundaySupper tailgate! See you tonight on twitter @fromagechick! I will be the one eating hummus! :)
ReplyDeleteYES! This is a must make - both for me and for my stepbrother :-D We love our spice
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a huge hummus fan...and a huge wing fan...this would be a huge hit here. I know I'd love it, too. YUM!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh what a perfect way to mix yummy & healthy! We love the flavor of buffalo wing sauce and I always keep it on hand just in case a tasty recipe like this one pops into my sight! Can't wait to try this!! Thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great--can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to change up classic hummus. Put a couple of your favorite flavors together and BAMM magic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!!!!! Thank you for sharing. On my tailgate lineup!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that everyone I know would love this hummus! I also think its so much better (and cheaper, usually) to make it at home.
ReplyDeleteI love Frank's and put it on tons of stuff, brilliant in a hummus!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect idea! I love dip and hot wings so this would be so yummy. And healthier is always better.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely putting this on my "to-make" list for dips. We love hummus and love Frank's RedHot, so I'm sure this will be a huge hit in my house!

ReplyDeleteLoving the hummus recipes this week. I am new to liking hummus, and this flavor will definitely be made this year here. Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteYum...hummus! So healthy and delicious! I love the spicy twist you gave to your version. Homemade hummus is the way to go - I've bought pre-packaged stuff and it always tastes terrible!
ReplyDeleteI have to try this spicy hummus SOON! Looks SO good! I like a thicker hummus too. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper'b posting and thanks for shared this recipie..
ReplyDeleteHummus is our new snack, I'll try this one since we all love Frank's Hot sauce!

You are my new best friend!! Go steelers!! And I love the idea of pairing buffalo wing idea with hummus.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I love hearing about new ways to flavor hummus. My problem with making my own is figuring out what to do with the rest of the giant jar of tahini.
ReplyDeleteOh I love hummus and your's look so so tasty!The spicy flavors just suit my taste perfectly and I cannot wait to try this :)
ReplyDeleteOooh! Another great hummus recipe! Love it!

ReplyDeleteJamie @ www.mamamommymom.com
We are big hummus fans too - and hate paying $$$$. Thanks for the recipe! My hubs will love the buffalo flavour! I'm featuring you this week at Addicted to Recipes! Please come by and grab a button! http://iamaddictedtorecipes.blogspot.ca/2012/09/scrumptious-sunday-28-features.html
ReplyDeleteWHAT? Buffalo HUMMUS!? I think I'm in heaven! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and make this over the weekend, where can I find Tahini?
ReplyDeleteI find it in the grocery store usually in the specialty foods section. If you can't find it you can always substitute in 2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil instead. My brother made it last weekend and said he didn't use tahini at all and just added more garlic and lemon.
DeleteOh great!! I have that!! I want to make it this weekend! Thank you!
