This vibrant, creamy dip is a delicious twist on traditional hummus – rich in flavor, naturally plant-based, and full of Mediterranean charm.

A smooth blend of white beans and chickpeas meets sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, green olive paste, and lemon juice for a zesty, savory spread that’s perfect for any occasion.

Serve it as an appetizer with crunchy veggie sticks, spread it on warm flatbread or toast, or enjoy it as a wholesome side to your favorite dishes.

Topped with sesame seeds and pomegranate jewels, it’s not only nourishing but beautifully colorful on any table.
